Cephalothin induced neutropenia during the treatment of bacterial endocarditis
Scottish Medical Journal
|April 1, 1978
Abstract:
The occurrence of cephalothin induced neutropenia in 3 patients with infective endocarditis is described. In each patient, withdrawal of cephalothin was followed by rapid haematological recovery. It is apparent that granulocytopenia may frequently occur in patients receiving prolonged, high dose, intravenous cephalothin for the treatment of bacterial endocarditis.
