Abstract
TALLON MARTINEZ, JC; MANZANO LORENZO, R; RAMOS AMADOR, JT and MARTINEZ SESMERO, JM. Syndrome of the red man in pediatrics: a report of 2 cases. Rev. OFIL·ILAPHAR [online]. 2021, vol.31, n.2, pp.206-207. Epub Aug 16, 2021. ISSN 1699-714X. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/s1699-714x2021000200017.
We describe two cases of red man or red neck syndrome (RRS) appearance in paediatric population, an infant of 3 months and a child of 12 years.
In both patients vancomycin was replaced by another glycopeptide, teicoplanin, without this syndrome having occurred in any of their administrations despite the structural similarity between two drugs.
Keywords : Pediatrics; vancomycin; red man syndrome; adverse drug reaction.
