Cefepime-induced neurotoxicity in a pediatric patient on chronic hemodialysis: a case report
2017
Key Clinical Message
Impaired renal function increases the risk for cefepime-induced neurotoxicity. Symptoms include disorientation, myoclonus, status epilepticus, ataxia, gait disturbance, coma, and death. A high index of suspicion and early recognition of symptoms can minimize the risk of progression of symptoms to permanent neurologic impairment or death.
