Abstract

We present a clinical case of non-convulsive epileptic status in the post-operative of a 79-year-old patient with no history of epilepsy, and its probable relationship with scheduled antibiotic therapy. Then a discussion about the epileptic status and its appearance as a side effect of the treatment with certain antibiotics is made.
