  • Title: Acute hepatitis associated with oral levofloxacin therapy in a hemodialysis patient.
    Author: Schwalm JD, Lee CH.
    Journal: CMAJ; 2003 Apr 01; 168(7):847-8. PubMed ID: 12668542.
    Abstract:
    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.
