Abstract

Drug-induced Immune Haemolytic Anaemia (DIIHA) is a rare but serious complication of cephalosporin use. Ceftazidime is recognized to be a rare cause of DIIHA. We report and discuss a case of DIIHA in a person with cystic fibrosis who developed severe haemolytic anaemia following use of ceftazidime in the management of an acute pseudomonal pulmonary exacerbation.
