摘要
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. (C) 2003 Elsevier SAS. All rights reserved.
