Renal biopsy showed allergic interstitial nephritis. We report the second case of acute renal failure with ciprofloxacin therapy (1).A 64-year-old woman had Staphylococcus aureus cavitary pneumonia. She received parenteral gentamycin, cefazolin, and metronidazole for 15 days and was discharged on a regimen of ciprofloxacin, 750 mg orally twice a day. At discharge, the serum creatinine level was 1.5 mg/dL.The patient was hospitalized again 11 days later with a hip fracture. Her pneumonia showed clinical and radiographic improvement. However, blood urea...References1. ArcierAugustBecker GRN. Clinical experience with ciprofloxacin in the USA. Eur J Clin Microbiol. 1986;5:220-5. CrossrefMedlineGoogle Scholar2.
