[Tenosynovitis caused by ciprofloxacin. Clinical case].
We report a 67 years old diabetic female that received ciprofloxacin for an acute pyelonephritis. Twelve days after starting this treatment, a hand and forearm tenosynovitis appeared, that subsided after the discontinuation of ciprofloxacin. Literature review disclosed other reports of tenosynovitis associated with the use of this antimicrobial.
