Among the adverse effects of vancomycin (apart from nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity), anaphylactoid reactions may occur, which manifest clinically as cutaneous rash, pruritus ('red man' syndrome), hypotension and broncospasm [ 4, 8, 9].
In the majority of cases studied pruritus was mild or moderate, and localized on the scalp, face, neck or upper torso.
Surprisingly, assessment of other haemodynamic parameters (SVRI, CI, SVI) revealed a significant change only in those patients who were affected by pruritus and not treated with a β-blocker, as though treatment had antagonized all of the cardiovascular effects triggered by the release of histamine during vancomycin administration.
On the contrary, in patients free from pruritus (group B), those haemodynamic changes were not observed and all of the parameters considered remained stable throughout the study.
The patients were divided into two groups: group A, including patients who exhibited pruritus during vancomycin infusion; and group B, including those patients who did not exhibit pruritis.
