Abstract
Vancomycin-induced nephrotoxicity is a commonly feared and largely preventable adverse effect of vancomycin therapy. We present the case of a 56-year-old woman who developed acute renal failure requiring hemodialysis as a result of unmonitored vancomycin infusions for the treatment of osteomyelitis.Keywords
