Rifampin Induced Ataxia and Clonus in an Adolescent Male Hemodialysis Patient: A Case Report
We present a case of a 14-year-old African American male on hemodialysis who experienced ataxia and clonus after the addition of rifampin to treat a hemodialysis catheter-associated bloodstream infection. This observation should raise awareness of a rare but serious adverse reaction to rifampin.
