Acute psychotic episode secondary to Helicobacter pylori eradication treatment.

The side effects of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication treatment are few, usually in the form of gastrointestinal or allergic complaints. However, occasionally, some antibiotics including clarithromycin, included in the classic eradication regimen, may result in reversible psychosis, a condition called "antibiomania" or "Hoigne syndrome".
