  • Title: [Acute renal damage caused by ampicillin. Description of a case].
    Author: Checchini M, Franzini C, Minora T, Omboni E.
    Journal: Minerva Med; 1992 Jun; 83(6):389-93. PubMed ID: 1630702.
    Abstract:
    Approximately one week after a cycle of antibiotic therapy using ampicillin for pulmonary inflammation, an 82-year-old woman developed symptoms of acute renal insufficiency reminiscent of nephrotic syndrome. Symptoms were completely reversible and normal renal function was recovered (even after 14 months of follow-up). The Authors conclude by attributing this to acute tubulo-interstitial nephropathy due to hypersensitivity to ampicillin.
