Question 1 of 5
Which adverse effect unique to vancomycin is caused by histamine release?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Red-man syndrome. Vancomycin can cause histamine release, leading to red-man syndrome characterized by flushing, rash, and pruritus. This is not seen with the other options:
A) Discoloration of body fluids is due to impurities in vancomycin,
B) Ototoxicity is a potential side effect of aminoglycosides, not vancomycin, and
D) Nephrotoxicity is a concern with drugs like aminoglycosides and amphotericin B.
Therefore, the unique adverse effect of vancomycin caused by histamine release is Red-man syndrome.
