Abstract

Piperacillin-tazobactam is a beta-lactam group antibiotic that is frequently used in the treatment of many infectious diseases such as pneumonia, sepsis, intra-abdominal infections, and complicated skin and soft tissue infections. Side effects such as neutropenia, thrombocytopenia or pancytopenia may develop because of bone marrow suppression due to long-term PTZ use and high-dose PTZ use. This effect is a reversible and can be seen due to the use of all beta-lactam group antibiotics. Neutropenia is frequently observed because of bone marrow suppression, and thrombocytopenia usually accompanies the neutropenia. In this study, a case had a diagnosis of osteomyelitis and developed fever and neutropenia after the 21st day of piperacillin-tazobactam treatment is presented.

Piperasilin Tazobaktama Bağlı Febril Nötropeni Olgusu

Abstract

Piperasilin tazobaktam (PTZ), güçlü antipseudomonal etkinliğe sahip olan ve pnömoni, sepsis, intraabdominal enfeksiyonlar ve komplike deri, yumuşak doku enfeksiyonları gibi birçok enfeksiyon hastalığının tedavisinde sıklıkla kullanılan betalaktam grubu bir antibiyotiktir. Uzun süreli PTZ kullanımı ve yüksek doz PTZ kullanımına bağlı olarak kemik iliği baskılanması sonucu nötropeni, trombositopeni veya pansitopeni gibi yan etkiler gelişebilmektedir. Bu etki reversible bir yan etkidir ve bütün beta-laktam grubu antibiyotiklerin kullanımına bağlı görülebilmektedir. Kemik iliği baskılanması sonucu sıklıkla nötropeni görülmektedir ve genellikle trombositopeni tabloya eşlik etmektedir. Bu çalışmada osteomyelit tanısı ile takip edilen ve piperasilin-tazobaktam tedavisinin 21. gününden sonra ateş ve nötropeni gelişen bir olgu sunulmuştur.
