title: Risedronate as an intra-abdominal sepsis mimic: a case report.
abstract: This case report highlights the potential severity of bisphosphonate-associated reactions.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 76-year-old lady underwent several hospital admissions for investigation of fever associated with rigors, abdominal pain, and vomiting.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Despite multiple investigations, no cause was found, but the timing of the symptoms coincided with monthly risedronate administration.
