Abstract

Fifty six years old male patient admitted to our clinic with cholangitis due to anastomosis stricture after liver transplantation. Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTK) was performed and imipenem was started. Teicoplanin was added to treatment at 10th day because of fewer and elevated WBC. Tonic clonic epileptic seizures was developed 1 day after the teicoplanin was started. Cranial CT, MRI and EEG is performed. Only chronic ischemic changes was seen in MRI. At laboratory analysis, serum sodium level was 124 mEq/L and was corrected. Levetiracetam was started. The patient was entubated because of metabolic asidosis due to repeated epileptic seizures. Because of seizures started after teikoplanin and that we could not find any etiologic factor, we thought that seizure was induced by teicoplain. The drug was stopped and seizures ended. But the patient died due to ventilator associated pneumonia. Teicoplanin induced seizure must be kept in mind in infected patients with seizures.

Abstract

Elli altı yaşında erkek hasta karaciğer nakli sonrası anastomoz darlığı ve kolanjit tanısı ile kliniğimize başvurdu. Hastaya perkütan transhepatik kolanjiografi (PTK) yapıldı. Kolanjit tanısı ile imipenem başlandı. Ancak ateş ve beyaz küre değerinde yükseklik olması üzerine imipenem tedavisinin 10. gününde teikoplanin eklendi. İlaç başlandıktan bir gün sonra tonik klonik epileptik nöbetleri oldu. Kranial bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT), elektroensefalografi (EEG) ve kranial magnetik rezonans görüntüleme (MRG) çekildi. Sadece MRG’de kronik iskemik değişiklikler saptandı. Laboratuvar analizinde kan sodyum 124 mEq/L saptanan hastaya replasman tedavisi yapıldı. Hastaya levetiracetam başlandı. Epileptik atakları tekrarlayan hastada metabolik asidoz gelişti ve entübe edildi. Teikoplanin verilmesinden hemen sonra başlaması ve diğer etiyolojik faktörlerin dışlanması nedeniyle nöbetlerin teikoplanine bağlı olabileceği düşünüldü ve hastanın ilacı kesildi. İlaç kesilmesi sonrası nöbetler kesildi. Ancak ventilatöre bağlı pnömoni gelişen hasta exitus oldu. Enfekte ve teikoplanin alan bir hastada nöbet varlığında ilaca bağlı nöbet akılda tutulmalıdır.
