We report the first case of hypotensive episodes associated with intravenous (IV) azithromycin. This is a potentially fatal adverse drug reaction (ADR), with the risk of irreversible end-organ damage, and therefore must be recognized and treated immediately. In our case, the reaction was successfully managed by immediate cessation of the azithromycin infusion. It is important for clinicians to be aware of this ADR as azithromycin is a commonly prescribed medication worldwide.
我们报告了首例与静脉注射阿奇霉素相关的低血压发作病例。这是一种潜在致命的药物不良反应(ADR),存在不可逆终末器官损伤的风险,因此必须立即识别并治疗。在我们的病例中,通过立即停止阿奇霉素输注,该反应得到了成功处理。由于阿奇霉素是全球常用的处方药,临床医生了解这种ADR非常重要。
