Abstract
- Vancomycin is a bacteriocidal antibiotic experiencing a resurgence of utility because of increasing clinical problems with methicillinresistant staphylcoccal infections. Vancomycin can cause two types of hypersensitivity reactions, the red man syndrome and anaphylaxis. There is a consensus that slow intravenous administration of vancomycin should minimize the risk of infusion related adverse effects. We report a case of vancomycin hypersensitivity reaction with slow infusion of vancomycin.
