RESUMEN
Cefepime is a fourth-generation cephalosporin, developed in 1994, and is well known for its adverse effects. In 2002, the Food and Drug Administration adjusted the labeling to account for increased risk of seizures, encephalopathy and myoclonus, especially in the setting of renal impairment. Here we present a case of an 86-year-old female, undergoing Cefepime treatment, with encephalopathy mimicking acute stroke.
