Neutropenia associated with cephapirin therapy.

M E Levison, J L Bran, J H Jepson

    Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy
    |February 1, 1972
    PubMed
    Summary

    A patient developed neutropenia, a low white blood cell count, during cephapirin treatment. Neutrophil levels normalized after stopping the antibiotic, indicating a drug-induced effect.

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacology
    • Hematology
    • Clinical Medicine

    Background:

    • Neutropenia is a significant clinical concern, potentially increasing infection risk.
    • Cephapirin is a cephalosporin antibiotic used in various clinical settings.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report a case of neutropenia potentially associated with cephapirin therapy.
    • To describe the hematological findings and clinical course following antibiotic discontinuation.

    Main Methods:

    • Case report detailing clinical observation and laboratory findings.
    • Review of patient's medical history and medication.
    • Bone marrow examination to assess hematopoietic status.

    Main Results:

    • Development of neutropenia during cephapirin administration.
    • Normalization of neutrophil count after cessation of cephapirin.
    • Bone marrow biopsy showed reduced mature neutrophils and eosinophilia.

    Conclusions:

    • Cephapirin therapy may be associated with drug-induced neutropenia.
    • Discontinuation of the causative agent is crucial for recovery.
    • Further investigation may be warranted for similar presentations.
