Ceftriaxone is widely used in clinical practice for its efficacy against infections. However, its increasing association with life-threatening immune hemolytic reactions urge clinicians to enhance recognition and maintain sharp vigilance. This report details a rare and severe case of ceftriaxone-induced hemolytic anemia (CIHA), hemodynamic instability and hemolytic crisis in a 54-year-old woman after intravenous infusion of ceftriaxone following a respiratory infection.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of intestinal dysbiosis on the bioavailability of voriconazole and to explore any underlying mechanisms.

Method: Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into two groups: a normal control group and a ceftriaxone-associated dysbiotic group. The composition of the intestinal flora was examined using 16S rRNA sequencing analysis.

Drug-induced hemolytic anemia (DIHA) is a rare but significant condition characterized by the premature destruction of red blood cells (RBCs) triggered by certain medications. Ceftriaxone, a commonly used antibiotic, has been linked to DIHA, presenting diagnostic challenges due to its diverse clinical manifestations. This study examines three cases of DIHA caused by ceftriaxone therapy at our center.

The spleen plays a crucial role in filtering aging blood cells and defending against encapsulated microorganisms. While not essential for survival, splenic dysfunction can lead to severe complications, including organ failure, infection, and death. This case study examines a rare presentation of drug-induced splenic septic thrombophlebitis secondary to pancreatitis caused by an adverse reaction to ceftriaxone.

At cellular and circuit levels, drug addiction is considered a dysregulation of synaptic plasticity. In addition, dysfunction of the glutamate transporter 1 (GLT-1) in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) has also been proposed as a mechanism underlying drug addiction. However, the cellular and synaptic impact of GLT-1 alterations in the NAc remain unclear.
