Rupture of multiple tendons after levofloxacin therapy

Denis Braun et al. Joint Bone Spine. 2004 Nov.

Abstract

An 80-year-old man treated by levofloxacin developed multiple tendon ruptures. His symptoms resolved over 9 months after levofloxacin discontinuation. Nasal corticosteroid therapy, aging and chronic respiratory insufficiency were probably predisposing factors in this patient.
