- Abstract
Mild adverse drug reactions typically associated with antimicrobials are familiar to most clinicians. However, rare phenomena, such as neurotoxicity, are often unpredictable and potentially unexpected. The toxic effects of antimicrobials on the central nervous system are often underreported and the mechanism(s) may be mixed or obscure. Geriatric patients are at increased risk for adverse drug reactions given physiologic alterations affecting pharmacokinetic processes. A dearth of information exists regarding neurotoxic presentations precipitated by antimicrobial use in the geriatric population. The purpose of this review is to present the available literature on neurotoxic effects of antimicrobials in geriatric patients, with an emphasis on manifestations of psychosis or delirium, or both.
