Objective To summarize the occurrence rules of adverse reactions/events of voriconazole, analyze the reasons of adverse reactions/events, and provide reference for clinical medication. Methods Use China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Vip Journal Integration Platform and Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform to search the literatures published in 2015 and before with "voriconazole" "adverse reaction" and "adverse event", classify the adverse reactions/events according to gender, age, system-organs, drug combination, occurrence time, and outcome, and analyze the occurrence regularity and reasons of adverse reactions/events. Results A total of 29 literatures were searched, including 44 cases. In all the adverse reactions/events, elderly patients were the most (18 cases with the age of 61-80 years old, occupying 40.9%; 13 cases with >80 years old, occupying 29.5%). Adverse reactions/events mainly involved central nervous system (45 cases, 59.2%). Proton pump inhibitors (5 cases) were the more common drug combination in the 7 drug combination cases. Most adverse reactions/events occurred in 1-7 days after medication (35 cases, 79.5%). The outcome of adverse reactions/events included 39 improvement/recovery, 1 death, and 4 unknown. Conclusion Using voriconazole should consider the drug characteristics. Choose the drug according to the specific condition of patients, at the same time pay attention to drug interactions, contraindications, and so on. If necessary, genetic testing and therapeutic drug monitoring can be done in order to reduce the occurrence of adverse drug reactions/events.
