Pancreatitis Caused by Tigecycline: A Rare Case Report

Abstract

Tigecycline was approved on the market in 2005 by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that shows remarkable efficacy against many multiple drug-resistant (MDR) pathogens. The common side effects of tigecycline include nausea and vomiting. With the increasing detection rate of drug-resistant bacteria, the application of tigecycline increased significantly. Therefore, tigecycline-associated adverse reactions are increasing. In this report, we present a patient who was diagnosed with IgA nephropathy and pneumonia and presented with acute pancreatitis after the use of tigecycline.
