Levofloxacin-associated Achilles tendon rupture and tendinopathy.

Asa Melhus1, Jan Apelqvist, Jan Larsson, Magnus Eneroth.   

Abstract

Fluoroquinolones have a documented ability to induce Achilles tendinopathy. Hitherto, few published reports have implicated levofloxacin. This article reports 5 cases of Achilles tendon disorders, including 3 complicated by rupture of the tendon, during levofloxacin treatment of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
