Abstract
We present the case of a 71-year-old female treated for infective endocarditis with flucloxacillin and paracetamol. Her clinical course became complicated by a blood-gas demonstrating a raised anion gap metabolic acidosis. The patient was diagnosed with pyroglutamic metabolic acidosis. This is a rare interaction between high dose flucloxacillin and paracetamol, and is an important complication to recognize.
