Abstract:
A 4 years and 7 months old boy was treated with IV infusions of azithromycin 0.16 g once daily and methylprednisolone sodium succinate 32 mg once daily and oral amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium for suspension 228.5 mg twice daily for bronchopneumonia complicated with multiple co-infections with mycoplasma, viruses, and bacteria. After 6 days of treatments, the boy′s symptoms were improved and his body temperature returned to normal. On the 7th day of treatments, the boy developed rash with itching, which subsided on the same day after symptomatic treatments. Amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium and azithromycin were discontinued, but the child still developed rash every time after IV infusion of methylprednisolone sodium succinate, which could subside later that day. After withdrawal of methylprednisolone sodium succinate, the boy′s rash did not recur.
