--- abstract: 'Red man syndrome (RMS) is the occurrence flushing, pruritus, chest pain, muscle spasm or hypotension during vancomycin infusion. It usually happens as a result of rapid infusion of the drug but may also occur after slow administration. The frequency and severity of this phenomenon diminish with repeated administration of vancomycin. A case is presented whereby RMS occurred while prophylactic antibiotic against infective endocarditis was administered.' altloc: [] chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: ~ confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: - ngeowy@um.edu.my - ~ - ~ creators_name: - family: Ngeow given: W.C. honourific: Dr. lineage: '' - family: Chai given: W.L. honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Moody given: A.B. honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 2000 date_type: published datestamp: 2012-04-25 13:03:45 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/81/66 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: 0 edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: [] eprint_status: archive eprintid: 8166 fileinfo: application/pdf;http://cogprints.org/8166/1/Red%20Man%20Syndrome%20During%20Administration%20of%20Prophylactic%20Antibiotic%20Against%20Infective%20Endocarditis.pdf full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: ~ item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: 'Antiinfective agent vancomycin antibiotic prophylaxis article bacterial endocarditis case report chemically induced disorder drug hypersensitivity fever flushing human intravenous drug administration male middle aged odontogenic cyst pruritus syndrome Anti-Bacterial Agents Endocarditis, Bacterial Humans Infusions, Intravenous Radicular Cyst' lastmod: 2012-04-25 13:03:45 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: 'Cited By (since 1996): 4 Export Date: 7 March 2012 Source: Scopus PubMed ID: 11323942 Language of Original Document: English Correspondence Address: Ngeow, W.C.

He graduated from the University of Malaya in 1992 and was a private practitioner for 9 months before he was offered the post of tutorship at his alma matter. Three years later, he went to do a house job at the Queen Victoria Hospital in East Grinstead, England. He obtained his Fellowship in Dental Surgery from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and the Royal College of Surgeons ofEngland in 1996. He subsequently returned to Malaysia and was a pioneer lecturer at the then newly established Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia.
