Epidemiological Analysis of Severe Allergic Reactions Caused by Moxifloxacin Based on Literatures and Examples
Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of severe allergic reactions caused by moxifloxacin based on literatures and relevant examples,and provide a reference for clinically safe use of moxifloxacin.Methods:By using"moxifloxacin",'hypersensitivity","anaphylaxis",etc.as keywords,relevant literature on severe allergic reactions caused by moxifloxacin was searched in Chinese and foreign databases such as CNKI,Chongqing VIP,Wanfang Database,PubMed,and Embase,and relevant epidemiological information of patients was collected.Combined with the adverse drug reaction report of one patient with severe allergic reaction caused by moxifloxacin previously reported by the hospital,the clinical characteristics of severe allergic reactions caused by moxifloxacin were analyzed.Results:A total of 13 articles on severe allergic reactions caused by moxifloxacin were searched from Chinese and foreign databases,involving 15 patients.Among the 16 patients in total,there were significantly more females than males(15 vs 1);there were 14 patients aged less than 60 years and 4 patients aged not less than 60 years;9 patients with a latency period of not more than 1 hour and 6 patients with a latency period of more than 1 hour and less than 7 days;3 patients who developed hypersensitivity syndrome and 10 patients who had hypersensitivity.In terms of outcomes,11 patients improved after drug discontinuation and administration of glucocorticoids or antihistamines,4 patients improved after drug discontinuation but without medication,and 1 patient eventually died of fulminant hepatic failure.Conclusion:Allergic reactions caused by moxifloxacin mostly occur in female patients,and the latency period is short.The severity includes mild rash and itching,severe dyspnea and even death.Therefore,when handling adverse drug reactions caused by moxifloxacin,it is necessary to implement early identification and early management to ensure medication safety of patients.
