Shaking, chills, and rigors with once-daily gentamicin

K H Lucas et al. Pharmacotherapy. 1999 Sep.

Abstract

A patient receiving once-daily gentamicin experienced shaking, chills, and rigors. This adverse reaction has occurred in patients around the country at many different institutions. Although the etiology is thought to be mediated by higher than normal endotoxin levels in one product, other possibilities must be explored.
