A male patient was hospitalized as a case of pneumonia. He was diabetic, hypertensive and post Hepatitis "C" "H-C". He reported skin eruption following administration of meropenem. Skin biopsy revealed acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis. To elucidate this side effect, we conducted a literature search - this is the second case induced by meropenem. The diagnosis was made after excluding all other possible causes. Dermatologists and clinicians must be aware of this an unusual side effect.
一名男性患者因肺炎入院。他患有糖尿病、高血压且曾感染丙型肝炎。他报告在使用美罗培南后出现皮疹。皮肤活检显示为急性泛发性脓疱病。为阐明这一副作用,我们进行了文献检索——这是美罗培南诱发的第二例病例。在排除所有其他可能原因后做出了诊断。皮肤科医生和临床医生必须意识到这种不寻常的副作用。
