Dosing Cefepime for Renal Function Does Not Completely Prevent Neurotoxicity in a Patient With Kidney Transplant.

Dosing cefepime for renal function does not completely prevent neurotoxicity in a kidney transplant patient. Cefepime neurotoxicity has been reported primarily among patients with renal insufficiency who received standard doses of the antibiotic. We report a case of nonconvulsive status epilepticus from dose-adjusted cefepime in a kidney transplant patient.
