GPT and Thrombophlebitis: The most common ertapenem-related AEs in previous studies were elevated hepatic transaminase levels (8.8%), diarrhea (5.0%), thrombophlebitis (4.5%), nausea (2.5%), and seizures (0.2%) [19], whereas the only two drug-related AEs that we observed were a mild elevation in alanine aminotransferase levels and a short-term maculopapular rash, both of which were reversible without having to discontinue the ertapenem therapy.
