Resumo

Vancomicina é frequentemente recomendada para o tratamento de infecções causadas por Staphyloccus aureus multi-resistente. Foram observadas vinte e duas crianças recebendo tratamento com vancomicina. Foram registrados nove efeitos adversos em seis crianças: eosinofilia em cinco casos, exantema em dois casos e aumento da creatinina plasmática em dois casos. Todas as reações adversas regrediram com a retirada da droga.
