Abstract

: Numerous drugs are known to alter the colour of human body fluids. Although drug-induced bronchial secretions staining is normally harmless, it may frighten the patient and could lead to unnecessary clinical inquiries. Cefiderocol is often removed renally as an unmodified drug; bronchial secretion staining has not been seen at doses used in clinical practice. We report a possible first case of bronchoalveolar lavage staining occurred during Cefiderocol treatment in a critical patient.
