Piperacillin (and piperacillin/tazobactam) is a commonly prescribed antibiotic and is generally considered safe. We report a case of piperacillin induced bone marrow suppression.
A 19-year-old boy was being treated with piperacillin followed by piperacillin/tazobactam for infected pancreatic pseudocyst. After 21 days of treatment, he developed neutropenia and thrombocytopenia. These reversed promptly after stopping piperacillin/tazobactam. The time course of events suggested that piperacillin was the cause of bone marrow suppression in this patient.
Bone marrow suppression is a serious adverse effect of piperacillin, which should be kept in mind while treating patients with this drug.
哌拉西林(以及哌拉西林/他唑巴坦)是一种常用的抗生素,通常被认为是安全的。我们报告一例哌拉西林引起的骨髓抑制病例。
一名19岁男孩因感染性胰腺假性囊肿接受哌拉西林治疗,随后使用哌拉西林/他唑巴坦。治疗21天后,他出现了中性粒细胞减少和血小板减少。停用哌拉西林/他唑巴坦后,这些症状迅速逆转。事件的时间进程表明,哌拉西林是该患者骨髓抑制的原因。
骨髓抑制是哌拉西林的一种严重不良反应,在使用该药物治疗患者时应予以关注。
