Ciprofloxacin is a commonly used drug in our setup. Neurological disturbances are rare side effects of its use and are reported in older adults, patients with comorbidities, or patients with a background of psychiatric illness and antipsychotic drug use. We report the case of a 21-year-old female who developed delirium after taking ciprofloxacin for a urinary tract infection. She underwent extensive workup and her final diagnosis was based on the exclusion of other causes. Her symptoms completely settled within three weeks of ciprofloxacin discontinuation.
环丙沙星是我们机构常用的一种药物。神经功能紊乱是其使用中罕见的副作用,在老年人、患有合并症的患者、有精神疾病背景或使用抗精神病药物的患者中有所报道。我们报告了一例21岁女性患者,她因尿路感染服用环丙沙星后出现了谵妄。她接受了全面检查,最终诊断是基于排除其他病因。在停用环丙沙星三周内,她的症状完全消失。
