title: [Allergic reaction to ciprofloxacin: a case report].
abstract: We report a patient with a severe cutaneous and systemic reaction to ciprofloxacin after its use for treatment of urinary tract infection. To obtain a more accurate diagnosis, a Prick test as well as a challenge low- dose oral test were performed which yielded a positive result. Both tests suggest, in this case, an IgE mediated immune reaction.
