Article information

Las fluorquinolonas son antibióticos de uso frecuente en la práctica clínica con escasos efectos secundarios. De todos ellos, los efectos adversos musculoesqueléticos son los menos frecuentes. En este artículo presentamos el caso de una tendinitis por ciprofloxacino, hecho que aunque es poco frecuente en nuestras consultas de Atención Primaria, su alto índice de sospecha junto con la retirada del tratamiento farmacológico puede evitar complicaciones mayores, como la rotura tendinosa cuyo tratamiento en ocasiones es únicamente quirúrgico.

Palabras clave:
tendinitis
fluorquinolonas
ciprofloxacino
efectos secundarios

Fluoroquinolones are antibiotics frequently used in the clinical practice with scarce side effects. Of all them, the musculoskeletal adverse effects are the least frequent. In this article, we present the case of a ciprofloxacin induced tendinitis, a fact which, although rare in our primary health care clinics, can prevent major complications, such as tendinous rupture whose treatment is sometimes only surgical, due it its high index of suspicion together with the discontinuation of drug treatment.

Key words:
tendinitis
fluoroquinolones
ciprofloxacin
