To the Editor ,
I sincerely thank you for the comments. The entity of non-convulsive status is definitely pertinent in these cases. Due to logistic reasons, we could not get EEG done in the reported patients. Both the patients improved after coincidental stoppage of cefepime and change over to another antibiotic. This chronology of events made us think in the lines of cefepime-induced neurotoxicity. However, neither of the patients received anti-epileptic drugs or benzodiazepines and the dialysis schedule was continued as before. The dose of cefepime was 1 g/day in both the patients.
