Abstract
The authors report on a case of drug-induced hallucinatory syndrome after paclitaxel infusion in a 42-year-old woman with breast carcinoma treated with adjuvant chemotherapy ACX-T. This case report highlights the potential rosk of paclitaxel causing hallucinatory syndrome.
At the same time it indicates the need to cooperate with the psychiatrist. Early symptomatic psychopharmacological treatment enabled the smooth completion of chemotherapy.
