Antibiotic-induced hemolytic anemia is a rare complication following orthopedic surgery. Clinicians should suspect drug-induced anemia if hemoglobin drops suddenly after excluding other causes.

Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Pharmacology
  • Orthopedic Surgery

Background:

  • Prophylactic cephalosporins are common in orthopedic procedures.
  • Drug-induced hemolytic anemia is a rare but serious complication.
  • Early diagnosis is crucial for patient management.

Observation:

  • A patient developed hemolytic anemia post-total knee arthroplasty.
  • The patient had no previous drug allergies.
  • Hemoglobin levels dropped precipitously.

Findings:

  • Antibiotic administration was linked to hemolytic anemia.
  • Cephalosporin use can trigger this adverse reaction.
  • Diagnosis requires excluding other causes of anemia.

Implications:
