Abstract:
In clinical practice, tetracycline antimicrobial agents often lead to adverse events with drug fever and leukemoid reaction (LR) being rare occurrences. Here, we present a case of tigecycline-induced LR in a burn patient, which we believe is the first reported case of tigecycline-induced drug fever and LR globally in a burn patient and second overall.
