Abstract
A 53-year-old woman on ofloxacin developed myalgia, arthralgia, and tendinopathy. Her symptoms resolved after ofloxacin discontinuation. Although tendinopathy is a well-documented complication of quinolone therapy, there have been few reports of muscle symptoms. Concomitant involvement of the tendons, muscles, and joints has been exceedingly rare. Inhaled glucocorticoid therapy and moderate hypothyroidism were probably precipitating factors in our patient.Entities:
