Acute hepatitis associated with oral
levofloxacin therapy in a hemodialysis patient. CMAJ 2003 Apr 1;168(7):847-8 (ISSN: 0820-3946) Schwalm JD; Lee CH Department of Pathology and Molecular Medicine, McMaster
University, Hamilton, ON. Levofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic commonly used to treat
respiratory, urinary tract, skin and soft-tissue infections.
Levofloxacin is generally well tolerated and has fewer reported side
effects than other fluoroquinolones. We present a case of levofloxacin-associated
severe hepatocellular injury. The hepatitis resolved soon after
discontinuation of levofloxacin. Comment In: Comment In: RefSourcd:CMAJ. 2003 Oct 14;
