Cefepime‐induced neurotoxicity in a pediatric patient on chronic hemodialysis: a case report

Impaired renal function increases the risk for cefepime‐induced neurotoxicity. Symptoms include disorientation, myoclonus, status epilepticus, ataxia, gait disturbance, coma, and death. A high index of suspicion and early recognition of symptoms can minimize the risk of progression of symptoms to pe...

description Impaired renal function increases the risk for cefepime‐induced neurotoxicity. Symptoms include disorientation, myoclonus, status epilepticus, ataxia, gait disturbance, coma, and death. A high index of suspicion and early recognition of symptoms can minimize the risk of progression of symptoms to permanent neurologic impairment or death.
