“…Table 3 and Table 4 present a summary and analysis of 44 cases of eosinophilia caused by vancomycin. 28,3565 Of these 44 cases, drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), also known as drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome, was found in 35 cases. 28,3557 In other cases, some patients had increased eosinophil counts an...…”

“…58,62,63 Although the reported cases were been clearly diagnosed as DRESS, they were considered to have this syndrome based on the case data. A comprehensive review all of the 44 published cases with eosinophilia caused by vancomycin demonstrated the following (Table 4): 28,3565 male patients were more often affected (27 of 44 patients; 61.4%); the median age was 46.8 years (range, 2 months to 59 years); the median time to vancomycin-related symptoms was 23.5 days (range, 3–49 days); and the median eosinophil count was 5.22 × 10 9 /l (range, 0.85–37.5 × 10 9 /l). Fever (32 of 44 patients; 72.7%) and/or rash (36 of 44 patients; 81.8%) were the first symptoms of eosinophilia in patients with vancomycin treatment; and another two cases had hypotension or were asymptomatic after intraperitoneal injection of vancomycin.…”

“…Отже, враховуючи широке застосування ванкоміцину та його потенційні ризики, потрібно інформувати лікарів та фармацевтів про побічні ефекти, які виникають у пацієнтів, що отримують тривалу терапію ванкоміцином. Негайне припинення прийому ванкоміцину є ключем до лікування небажаного стану (негативної реакції), водночас в деяких наукових звітах рекомендується ад'ювантна терапія філграстимом для прискорення одужання хворих [16].…”

“…In addition to vancomycin, medications which can cause drug-induced neutropenia include beta-lactam antibiotics, diclofenac, spironolactone, carbamazepine, sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim, and antithyroid medications such as propylthiouracil [3]. Neutropenia often occurs after at least 12 days of vancomycin therapy, but has been observed as early as 7 days after treatment initiation [4,5]. A more rapid onset may occur if patients with a history of vancomycin-induced neutropenia are re-exposed to vancomycin [4].…”
