Beschreibung:
<jats:p>Ceftriaxone is a broad-spectrum, third-generation cephalosporin. The formation of biliary sludge and cholelithiasis after ceftriaxone administration has been reported and is thought by many to be a benign process.1-3 Despite this, cholecystectomy has been performed in symptomatic patients who have received ceftriaxone.3,4 This complication of ceftriaxone therapy is not widely appreciated in the gastroenterology and surgical literature.
