Ciprofloxacin-induced acute renal failure in a patient with cystic fibrosis

Pediatr Infect Dis J. 2001 Mar;20(3):320-1. doi: 10.1097/00006454-200103000-00024.

Abstract

Acute renal failure is a rare adverse reaction of antibiotic therapy with quinolones seldom seen in young patients. We report an 18-year-old young woman with cystic fibrosis who experienced a pronounced decline in renal function after oral treatment with ciprofloxacin for 3 weeks. Withdrawal of the drug led to normalization of renal function after 10 days.
