Ceftriaxone is a third-generation cephalosporin commonly used to treat infection. However, encephalopathy is an emerging adverse effect of ceftriaxone infusion. These patients present with various symptoms, including those of neurotoxicity, that typically resolve 1 week after discontinuation of ceftriaxone. We experienced two cases of ceftriaxone-induced encephalopathy that were successfully treated by rapid removal of ceftriaxone by hemoperfusion.

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.

Article Synopsis
- A patient with miliary tuberculosis was diagnosed with drug-induced immune thrombocytopenia (DITP) caused by ceftriaxone, contrary to the initial assumption that it was due to the tuberculosis drugs.
- Identifying the specific drug causing DITP is crucial to ensure continuation of essential tuberculosis treatment without unnecessary changes.
- When multiple medications are involved, additional testing for drug-dependent platelet antibodies may be needed to make an informed decision about treatment adjustments.
