title: [Hoigne syndrome following an intravenous injection of ceftriaxone: a case report].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Hoigne's syndrome is characterized by the development of acute clinical manifestations which are mainly psycho-sensorial. Classically, these features immediately follow the injection of procaine penicillin G.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report a 59-year-old man who presented with psycho-organic manifestations that occurred just after the intravenous injection of ceftriaxone; to our knowledge, this is the first case of Hoigne's syndrome reported after an injection of this antibiotic.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The pathophysiologic basis of this syndrome is still unknown. It is important to keep in mind its clinical characteristics, which may mimic immuno-allergic symptoms. It should be differentiated from anaphylactic manifestations because Hoigne's syndrome allows the continuation of the treatment.
