Sodium Stibogluconate (Pentostam) Overdose during Treatment of American Cutaneous Leishmaniasis

A 27-year-old woman who acquired cutaneous leishmaniasis in Central America was inadvertently treated with 10 times the intended daily dose of the pentavalent antimonial compound sodium stibogluconate (Pentostam): 8500 mg (143 mg/kg) instead of 850 mg. The patient felt “wiped out” during the 4-h inf...

description A 27-year-old woman who acquired cutaneous leishmaniasis in Central America was inadvertently treated with 10 times the intended daily dose of the pentavalent antimonial compound sodium stibogluconate (Pentostam): 8500 mg (143 mg/kg) instead of 850 mg. The patient felt “wiped out” during the 4-h infusion of the drug. After the mistake in dosing was discovered, she was vigorously hydrated and carefully monitored in an intensive care unit for >48 h. Her vital signs were stable, and no arrhythmias were noted. Her alanine aminotransferase level rose briefly to 2.4 times the upper limit of normal, and her white blood cell count briefly fell 43% to a low of 3700/µI. Her skin lesions subsequently healed without further therapy. Although sodium stibogluconate has been associated with a variety of side effects, in this case, a single high dose of the drug was tolerated without serious toxicity.
