The nephrotoxicity of various combinations of antibiotics--aminoglycosides, cephalosporins, vancomycin, amphotericin B--in 171 oncologic patients is described. The most nephrotoxic combination seems to be cefotaxime plus gentamicin, ceftriaxone plus amikacin and amphotericin B with cephalosporin, vancomycin or aminoglycoside. Less toxic was netilmicin with penicillin or cephalosporin, and vancomycin.
