Ceftriaxone induced hemolysis complicated by acute renal failure.
Over the last decade, second and third generation cephalosporins have been the most common drugs causing hemolytic anemia (HA). Of these cases, 20% have been attributed to ceftriaxone. The clinical presentation of ceftriaxone-induced HA is usually abrupt with sudden onset of pallor, tachypnea, cardio-respiratory arrest and shock. Acute renal failure (ARF) has been reported in 41% of such cases ...
متن کاملSevere ceftriaxone-induced hemolysis complicated by diffuse cerebral ischemia in a child with sickle cell disease.
Ceftriaxone-induced hemolytic anemia is a rare and often fatal phenomenon. We report here the case of a 6-year-old female with sickle cell disease who survived a brisk and profound hemolytic reaction, resulting in hemoglobin of 0.4 g/dL, after ceftriaxone infusion. Ongoing hemolysis was abrogated with aggressive supportive care, but the patient suffered extensive neurologic sequelae as a result...
متن کاملCeftriaxone-induced hemolysis in a child with Lyme arthritis: a case for antimicrobial stewardship.
Guidelines for the treatment of Lyme arthritis were published by the Infectious Diseases Society of America in 2006 and recommended oral doxycycline for initial therapy. We report here the case of a young girl treated with intravenous ceftriaxone who subsequently developed drug-induced autoimmune hemolytic anemia and renal failure. Her severe sequelae highlight the importance of antimicrobial s...

متن کاملCobra Venom-induced Hemolysis
Interest in the alternate or C3 shunt complement pathway has recently been generated by a number of reports (1-5). Its presence in invertebrates points to a primitive phylogenetic appearance (6). The C3 shunt can be triggered by high molecular weight polysaccharides in a manner reminiscent of the properdin system (7). Once activated by cobra venom, erythrocytes and other cells can be lysed in t...
