title: Ciprofloxacin-induced hematuria.
abstract: We used ciprofloxacin, a quinolone-derivative, to treat a lung infection due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa in an adult cystic fibrosis patient. On three different occasions the use of ciprofloxacin was associated with the development of an asymptomatic hematuria with red blood cell casts. The mechanism responsible for this hematuria is presently unknown, but clinicians should be aware of this potential adverse effect of ciprofloxacin.
