keflex allergy patient given ceftriaxone
by ptkim, May 30, 2006 12:00AM
my wife had a surgery, and was given ceftriaxone IV even though patient chart said she was allergic to keflex(rash,nausea). Did the hospital make a mistake by administering ceftriaxone even though they had known she was allergic to keflex?
She developed severe rash and had an acute renal failure in hospital and had to sit in ICU for 7 days.

Does this sound like an allergic reaction or a case of an extreme dose?
