We describe the case of a 15-y-old boy with a post-surgical osteoarticular infection, who developed a severe neutropenia after 24 days of treatment with cefepime. Our report suggests that, although rare, severe neutropenia should be considered by clinicians when prescribing cefepime, especially if long-term therapy is expected.
我们描述了一名15岁男孩的病例,他患有术后骨关节炎感染,在接受头孢吡肟治疗24天后出现严重中性粒细胞减少。我们的报告表明,虽然罕见,但临床医生在开具头孢吡肟处方时应考虑到严重中性粒细胞减少的情况,尤其是在预期进行长期治疗时。
