Moxalactam disodium-induced pulmonary hemorrhage

Chest. 1984 Oct;86(4):644-5. doi: 10.1378/chest.86.4.644.

Abstract

Fatal pulmonary hemorrhage occurred on the eighth day of moxalactam therapy. No other pharmacologic agent or obvious cause could be attributed to the hemoptysis. Moxalactam-induced pulmonary hemorrhage should be included in the differential diagnosis of an infiltrate when moxalactam is being administered.
