TI  - Cefepime-Induced Non-Convulsive Status Epilepticus in a Patient with Normal Renal 
      Function.

AB  - Cefepime-induced encephalopathy including nonconvulsive status epilepticus has 
      been known to develop in the patients with renal impairment. However, we report a 
      74-year-old woman with normal renal function who developed stuporous mental 
      status during cefepime administration. Electroencephalogram (EEG) revealed 2 Hz 
      rhythmic sharp-and-waves continuously, which suggested nonconvulsive status 
      epilepticus (NCSE). After cefepime discontinuation, clinical symptoms recovered 
      gradually and EEG findings showed only background slowing without epileptiform 
      discharges. Cefepime-induced NCSE could be developed even in the patients with 
      normal renal function, when they are elderly. Therefore, clinicians should be 
      aware of the possibility of cefepime-induced NCSE when prescribing cefepime even 
      to the patients with normal renal function.
