Comparative evaluation of ceftriaxone- and cefotaxime-induced biliary pseudolithiasis or nephrolithiasis: A prospective study in 154 children

Abstract

The present study is unique in the literature for reporting for the first time gall bladder sludge and nephrolithiasis associated with cefotaxime use. Therefore, patients treated with cefotaxime should be monitored for serious complications like patients treated with ceftriaxone. Nevertheless, if third-generation cephalosporin is used, cefotaxime is recommended to be used rather than ceftriaxone.
