Antibiotic-related renal failure and cystic fibrosis

J Paediatr Child Health. 2005 Jul;41(7):382-3. doi: 10.1111/j.1440-1754.2005.00640.x.

Abstract

Recently published reports suggest that the combination of aminoglycosides with ceftazidime may increase the risk of renal disease in cystic fibrosis. We describe a case of unusually severe acute tubular necrosis occurring in an adolescent with cystic fibrosis receiving i.v. gentamicin plus ceftazidime and discuss the possible mechanisms.
