Abstract

Cephalosporins are widely prescribed antibiotics for common infections and also used for prophylactic measures. Ceftriaxone is a third-generation cephalosporin which is known to cause hypersensitivity reactions presenting in various manifestations. Periorbital edema is a rare presentation of adverse drug reaction produced by ceftriaxone. Here, we report one such adverse drug reaction produced by ceftriaxone.
