Tracey, There are about 25 known fungal infections. I was on voriconazole and it wasn't working so I told the doctors that my problem was most likely one of the two types (out of 25) that the voriconazole did not work.. I was correct. The problem is those two are almost always deadly within 2-3 months. They caught mine very early and it was in a capsule about the size of a golf ball with a cover all around it like the outer layer of a golf ball. They then switched me to the posaconazole which is the elite drug in the class.
I had vision distortions with the voriconazole, also. The first month I had a little problem in that some things would look yellow and some things took on different colors. It was interesting and didn't cause problems.
I didn't have problems with blood counts while on the voriconazole.
I wish you the best !!
