We report a case of contrast-inducted Steven Johnson Syndrome (SJS)/Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN). The patient had received parenteral iopamidol and oral iohexol five days prior. The patient's chief complaint at the Emergency Department (ED) presentation was shortness of breath and blisters throughout body. Upon arrival, the patient was awake, alert, and oriented with a blood pressure (BP) of 166/68, heart rate (HR) of 117 beats per minute, respiratory rate (RR) of 22 breaths per minute and oxygen saturation of 94% on room air...

Three commercially available brands of amikacin were investigated in a parallel study design for the assessment of comparative pharmacokinetics in pediatric oncology patients with chemotherapy-induced neutropenic febrile episode. Amikacin concentration in serum samples was determined by fluorescence polarization immunoassay method using Abbott TDx system. Computer software, PK II was used for computation of pharmacokinetic parameters of amikacin. The serum concentration of all brands nonsignificantly (p > 0...
