Ergotism is an uncommon condition that affects patients with exposure to ergot alkaloids causing ischemia of extremities. We report the case of lower extremities ischemia caused by ergot toxicity in a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive individual due to the interaction between ergot alkaloid and Cobicistat. In addition, we present a brief review of medical and pharmacological aspects of this condition. To our knowledge, this is the second reported case describing this interaction.
