Zusammenfassung

Ein akutes Nierenversagen durch eine interstitielle Nephritis im Rahmen eines arzneimittelinduzierten Hypersensitivitätssyndroms ist eine eher seltene, aber potenziell gefährliche Arzneimittelreaktion. Wir berichten über einen Patienten, der nach Einnahme von Meropenem, Vancomycin und Moxifloxacin ein zunächst wenig bedrohlich erscheinendes makulopapulöses Exanthem mit Bluteosinophilie entwickelte. Ganz im Vordergrund der klinischen Situation stand eine rasch progrediente renale Niereninsuffizienz, die sich nach Absetzen der potenziellen Auslöser und einer 6-wöchigen systemischen Glukokortikoidtherapie nur langsam, aber letztendlich vollständig zurückbildete.

Abstract

Acute renal failure caused by interstitial nephritis as part of a drug hypersensitivity syndrome constitutes a rare, but potentially life-threatening adverse drug reaction. We describe a patient with a mild maculo-papular rash accompanied by eosinophilia after prolonged treatment with meropenem, vancomycin, and moxifloxacin. Subsequently, a rapidly progressing renal failure developed which dominated the clinical picture. Upon cessation of all suspected drugs and therapy with high-dose steroids for 6 weeks, the renal function slowly returned to normal.
