Anaphylaxis after the first dose of ceftriaxone injection

Ceftriaxone is a third generation cephalosporin used for bacterial infections. In the literature there is only one case of anaphylaxis after first exposure to ceftriaxone in children. Here we report a 2 years old boy who developed anaphylaxis after receiving the first intravenous injection of ceftriaxone. Clinicians should be aware of the risk of anaphylaxis after the first dose of ceftriaxone.
