“…The body is more sensitive to the drug in elderly patients who have taken different kinds of antibiotics [Shao 2015]. Hypersensitivity is considered to be a type III allergic reaction [Ochi 2011]. Before administration of imipenem/cilastatin, our patient received cefoxitin, piperacillin/tazobactam, sulperazone, teicoplanin, and fluconazole, all of which can produce some allergic factors and make him susceptible to DF."…”

Introduction: Drug fever is a febrile reaction caused by initiation of one drug or varieties of drugs and often disappears after cessation of the drug(s). Clinically, drug fever is frequently induced by antibiotics, anticonvulsants, and antineoplastics. There are few previous reports about drug fever caused by imipenem/cilastatin. Case Presentation: Here, we described a 66-year-old man undergoing the Ivor Lewis esophagectomy for esophageal carcinoma, who developed drug fever. The patient had a high temperature with shivering after administration of imipenem/cilastatin for 7 days. Furthermore, his temperature came down after discontinuing imipenem/cilastatin and receiving steroids. Body temperature increased rapidly 4 hours after intravenous readministration of imipenem/cilastatin and rapidly decreased to normal after discontinuing imipenem/cilastatin and administering steroids. Conclusion: Thorough history, blood tests, physical examination, and computed tomography (CT) did not reveal any evidence of fever. Drug fever caused by imipenem/cilastatin was considered. We also present a review of relevant literature and provide a point of reference for the clinical diagnosis and therapy of patients with drug fever.

“…The persistence of drug fever by Teicoplanin has been described sporadically in various case reports (Table 1). [6][7][8][9][10] Fever, on the other hand, is rarely associated with Rifampicin. The common symptoms are cutaneous reactions, chills, headache, malaise and in rare cases thrombocytopenia and acute renal failure.…”

The patient's symptoms settled over 1 week following withdrawal of Teicoplanin Ochi et al 10 Case report of a 38-year-old man who experienced a fever of about 38-39 C when the Teicoplanin dose was increased from 400 to 600 mg.

“…On retrospective analysis it was observed that although patient received multiple higher antibiotics, Teicoplanin could have been the main culprit in this case, to have caused the possible drug fever. Teicoplanin appears to be a notorious drug, the half life of elimination of Teicoplanin in the elimination phase is 108 hours, which is long (Ochi et al, 2011). Although in our case plasma concentration of Teicoplanin was not measured.…”

We present a case of 40 years old female, who was referred to our hospital with history of acute febrile illness with seizures, had septic shock, leukemoid reaction who was investigated and found to have dengue. Her clinical presentation was attributed to severe secondary bacterial infection. With this scenario she was empirically started on Meropenem, Teicoplanin and Doxycyclin. General condition started recovering, she became normotensive, there were no further episodes of seizure, but she continued to have persistent fever.
