Nitrofurantoin is one of many antibiotics used in the treatment of urinary tract infections (UTI). The drug is also used for the prevention of recurrent UTI in women. We report a case of nitrofurantoin drug fever associated with its use, following sexual intercourse, for chemoprophylaxis of UTI. The intermittent appearance of the side effects due to the occasional use of antibiotics, such as in this case, may easily lead to misdiagnosis.
呋喃妥因是用于治疗尿路感染（UTI）的多种抗生素之一。该药物还用于预防女性复发性UTI。我们报告了一例在性交后使用呋喃妥因进行UTI化学预防时出现的与用药相关的药物热病例。像本病例这样偶尔使用抗生素导致副作用间歇性出现，很容易造成误诊。
