The action taken for piperacillin, tazobactam was unknown. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of pancytopenia, myelodysplastic syndrome. The following death information was reported, despite no fatal outcome. The patient date of death was unknown. Reported cause of death: "passed away from complications of his pneumonia". It was not reported if an autopsy was performed.  No follow-up attempts are possible; information about lot/batch number cannot be obtained. No further information is expected.; Sender's Comments: As there is limited information in the case provided, the causal association between the events and the suspect drug cannot be excluded. The case will be reassessed once new information is available. The impact of this report on the benefit/risk profile of the Pfizer drug is evaluated as part of Pfizer procedures for safety evaluation, including the review and analysis of aggregate data for adverse events. Any safety concern identified as part of this review, as well as any appropriate action in response, will be promptly notified to Regulatory Authorities, Ethics Committees, and Investigators, as appropriate.; Reported Cause(s) of Death: passed away from complications of his pneumonia
