Ceftriaxone-induced acute reversible encephalopathy in a patient with enteric fever

Ceftriaxone is a commonly used, third-generation cephalosporin. Encephalopathy is a rare side effect of third- and fourth-generation cephalosporins. Renal failure and previous disease of the central nervous system predispose to this neurotoxicity. We describe a case of acute transient encephalopathy...

description Ceftriaxone is a commonly used, third-generation cephalosporin. Encephalopathy is a rare side effect of third- and fourth-generation cephalosporins. Renal failure and previous disease of the central nervous system predispose to this neurotoxicity. We describe a case of acute transient encephalopathy in a patient treated with ceftriaxone for enteric fever infection. Early detection of this complication is relevant given that stopping the drug usually reverts the neurological syndrome.
