· The physician encountering pruritus during vancomycin administration must correct the condition of hypovolaemia before continuing vancomycin infusion.
We therefore conducted the present study to investigate the haemodynamic behaviour that follows the occurrence of pruritus, and to compare it with that observed in patients who are free from this clinical sign.
Our analysis of haemodynamic profiles shows that, in those patients who exhibited pruritus (group A), systemic vascular resistance fell significantly 30 min after initiation of vancomycin administration.
