Inflammation‐driven variability in drug metabolism: Insights from voriconazole treatment of HSCT recipients

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Voriconazole is commonly used to prevent fungal infections after haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Although its metabolism is influenced by CYP2C19 genetics and inflammation, their combined effect is rarely considered in clinical practice, and integrated analyses remain limited.
