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.
