HIV-infected individuals have higher risk for tuberculosis reactivation regardless of their CD4+ count. Fluticasone's hepatic metabolism is bypassed in the presence of CYP3A4 inhibitors, which increases its systemic bioavailability and the risk for impaired immunity. The goal of this report is to increase awareness among physicians about the potential adverse outcomes from the interaction of these drugs.
