Imipenem-Cilastatin-Induced Seizures: A Case Report
Our case has highlighted the importance of promptly recognizing imipenem-cilastatin- induced epileptic seizures in order to treat them more effectively and thus optimize the patient's care. Therefore, we emphasize that clinicians be vigilant about the side effects of its use, particularly in patients with neurological susceptibilities. We also advocate a personalized choice of antibiotics, taking into account both antimicrobial efficacy and potential adverse effects, for better outcomes with fewer risks.
