Figure 2.
Box (median and 25th–75th percentiles) and whiskers (5th–95th percentiles) plot of posaconazole trough concentrations (C min) following administration of posaconazole tablets in hematologic patients receiving no interacting co‐treatments (Controls; 34 observations in 20 patients), in those receiving proton pump inhibitors (PPIs; 113 observations in 43 patients), in those receiving intermediate or high dose steroids (>0.7 mg kg−1 daily) (Steroids; 9 observations in 5 patients) and in those receiving proton pump inhibitors plus intermediate or high dose steroids (PPIs+ steroids; 20 observations in 13 patients). The dashed line identifies posaconazole target levels for prophylaxis (C min > 0.7 mg l−1) of fungal infections. A P‐value < 0.001 was obtained at Kruskal–Wallis test. A significant difference after post‐hoc Bonferroni correction was observed between Controls and PPIs (P < 0.001), Controls and Steroids (P = 0.003) and Controls and PPIs+ Steroids (P < 0.001)
