Piperacillin/tazobactam is a commonly prescribed antibiotic and is generally considered safe. We report a case of a 2-year-old girl who developed hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis and bradycardia after receiving intravenous piperacillin-tazobactam for bronchopneumonia. Upon withdrawal of the drug, serum potassium normalized in 2 days. Hypokalemia is a serious adverse effect of piperacillin-tazobactam and should be suspected while treating patients with this drug. Early recognition and prompt withdrawal of the drug will result in lesser morbidity.
哌拉西林/他唑巴坦是一种常用的处方抗生素,通常被认为是安全的。我们报告了一例 2 岁女孩在因支气管肺炎接受静脉注射哌拉西林/他唑巴坦治疗后出现低钾代谢性碱中毒和心动过缓的病例。停用该药物后,血清钾在 2 天内恢复正常。低钾血症是哌拉西林/他唑巴坦的严重不良反应,在使用该药治疗患者时应怀疑其存在。早期识别和及时停药将降低发病率。
