Hypoglycemia associated with pivalate-conjugated antibiotics in young children: A retrospective study using a medical and pharmacy claims database in Japan.
    Journal of infection and chemotherapy : official journal of the Japan Society of Chemotherapy, 2020, Volume: 26, Issue:1

    Acute bacterial infectious diseases are major causes for outpatient visits for young children. Pivalate-conjugated antibiotics (PCAs) are frequently prescribed for these situations in Japan, while several literatures have shown a potential risk of hypoglycemia associated with PCAs. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence of PCA-induced hypoglycemia in children, compared with other oral beta-lactam antibiotics.. This retrospective cohort study using a Japanese medical and pharmacy claims database was performed on children aged 1 month to 5 years old with at least once prescription of PCAs or other oral beta-lactam antibiotics from January 2011 to December 2013. Hypoglycemia was defined based on diagnostic codes or the prescription of 10% or 20% glucose injection. We examined the prevalence of hypoglycemic events and performed multivariate analysis to investigate the risk of hypoglycemia with PCAs compared with the control oral beta-lactam antibiotics.. We identified 179,594 eligible patients in this population. In the PCA and control groups, there were 454,153 and 417,287 prescriptions and 3356 (0.74%, 95% confidence intervals [CI] 0.71-0.76) and 2605 (0.62%, 95% CI 0.60-0.65) hypoglycemic events, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that PCAs were associated with hypoglycemia (adjusted odds ratios [OR] 1.18, 95% CI 1.12-1.24), and even a shorter duration of PCAs prescribing (≤7 days) was significantly associated with hypoglycemia (adjusted OR 1.17, 95% CI 1.11-1.24).. These results suggest that in young children PCA use, even for a short period, is a risk factor of hypoglycemia.

Relapsing Hypoglycemia Associated with Hypocarnitinemia Following Treatment with Cefcapene Pivoxil in an Elderly Man.
    Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2019, Oct-01, Volume: 58, Issue:19

    Pivoxil-containing cephalosporins can result in symptomatic hypocarnitinemia in children. We herein report a case of an 85-year-old man at risk of carnitine deficiency who developed relapsing symptomatic hypoglycemia after treatment with cefcapene pivoxil for urinary tract infection. On admission, laboratory tests showed low blood carnitine concentrations with low normal blood ketone levels. The patient was successfully treated by the oral administration of levocarnitine and dietary modification, including aggressive consumption of meat and dairy products, and remained symptom-free for nine months after the correction of carnitine concentrations. Healthcare providers should be cautious when prescribing pivoxil-containing antimicrobials to patients at high risk of hypocarnitinemia.
