Abstract:
Vancomycin, vital in paediatric care, exhibits varied side effects. Instances of adverse reactions during concurrent medication use, particularly in infants, are limited. We present an infant's unique adverse reaction to vancomycin alongside amoxicillin-clavulanic acid. A 9mo old infant, admitted with respiratory distress, developed erythematous rashes within minutes of vancomycin infusion. Ceasing vancomycin alleviated the rash, yet subsequent respiratory distress required non-invasive support. Blood cultures were sterile, and the child recovered after a 7d injectable amoxicillin-clavulanic acid course. This rare case highlights an infant's adverse reaction post-vancomycin infusion, emphasizing the complexity of Red Man Syndrome (RMS). Despite no apparent risk factors, the role of amoxicillin-clavulanic acid in RMS warrants exploration during combined vancomycin therapy, notably in infants.
