Torsade de Pointes Induced by Hypokalemia from Imipenem and Piperacillin

Torsade de Pointes Induced by Hypokalemia from Imipenem and Piperacillin

Imipenem-cilastatin and piperacillin-tazobactam are two antibiotics with broad antimicrobial coverage. Besides the many well established adverse effects of these drugs, there have been few case reports of hypokalemia. Here we present an interesting case of resistant hypokalemia caused by these drugs...
