  • Why does red man syndrome occur with vancomycin?

    Vancomycin can cause two types of hypersensitivity reactions, the red man syndrome and anaphylaxis. Red man syndrome has often been associated with rapid infusion of the first dose of the drug and was initially attributed to impurities found in vancomycin preparations.

    What is the primary cause of red man syndrome?

    Vancomycin flushing syndrome (VFS) was previously known as red man syndrome (RMS) is an anaphylactoid reaction caused by the rapid infusion of the glycopeptide antibiotic vancomycin.

    When does red man syndrome occur?

    For that reason, it was previously named “red man syndrome.” It usually occurs during or after an intravenous (IV) infusion of vancomycin. In many cases, the faster the medication is given, the more likely the rash is to appear. The rash usually appears within 4 to 10 minutes of starting vancomycin treatment.

    What medication causes red man syndrome?

    Vancomycin flushing syndrome (VFS) is a reaction to the antibiotic vancomycin. Symptoms include flushing and itching, but there may also be weakness, back and chest pain, and swelling under the skin, known as angioedema.
