- W3207566772 abstract "Cefepime is a fourth-generation, cephalosporin antibiotic commonly used as a first-line empirical treatment in a wide range of bacterial infections. It is predominantly excreted renally; therefore, a reduction in kidney function allows for the accumulation of cefepime to potentially toxic levels. Here we present a case of cefepime-induced encephalopathy (CIE) in a 67 years old male patient with advanced-stage renal insufficiency and cirrhosis who was admitted to our hospital for altered mental status (AMS). The patient was initially treated for hepatic encephalopathy (HE) given an elevated ammonia level (105 µg/dL), which had significantly improved. He was also placed on intravenous (IV) cefepime for Pseudomonas bacteremia. Four days later, the patient became drowsy and confused. A detailed workup for secondary causes of AMS was performed however no significant acute abnormalities were detected. The ammonia level remained within the normal range. There was no acute intracranial pathology reported on a head computerized tomography (CT). Furthermore, an electroencephalograph (EEG) was obtained which showed generalized periodic discharge with a tri-phasic wave pattern suggesting non-convulsive status epilepticus (NCSE). CIE was suspected at that point and cefepime administration was stopped. Following cefepime discontinuation, there was a remarkable improvement in the patient's mental status for several days after cefepime discontinuation that supported the diagnosis of CIE in our patient. Although the exact pathophysiology is unclear, CIE should be suspected in elderly patients, patients with renal dysfunction, and critical illness. Meanwhile, liver dysfunction can be an additional risk factor for CIE as it increases the permeability of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), altered neurotransmission, and neuro-inflammation." @default.
