    Author: Krcméry V, Fuchsberger P, Gocár M, Salát T, Bodnárová J, Sobota R, Koza I, Svec J.
    Journal: Chemotherapy; 1991; 37(4):287-91. PubMed ID: 1790727.
    Abstract:
    The nephrotoxicity of various combinations of antibiotics--aminoglycosides, cephalosporins, vancomycin, amphotericin B--in 171 oncologic patients is described. The most nephrotoxic combination seems to be cefotaxime plus gentamicin, ceftriaxone plus amikacin and amphotericin B with cephalosporin, vancomycin or aminoglycoside. Less toxic was netilmicin with penicillin or cephalosporin, and vancomycin.
