Abstract
We used ciprofloxacin, a quinolone-derivative, to treat a lung infection due toPseudomonas aeruginosa in an adult cystic fibrosis patient. On three different occasions the use of ciprofloxacin was associated with the development of an asymptomatic hematuria with red blood cell casts. The mechanism responsible for this hematuria is presently unknown, but clinicians should be aware of this potential adverse effect of ciprofloxacin. Wir behandelten einen erwachsenen Patienten mit zystischer Fibrose wegen seiner durchPseudomonas aeruginosa verursachten Lungeninfektion mit Ciprofloxacin, einem Quinolonderivat. Die Einnahme von Ciprofloxacin war wiederholt mit dem Auftreten einer asymptomatischen Hämaturie verbunden. Obwohl der dafür verantwortliche pathogenetische Mechanismus zur Zeit unbekannt ist, sollte auf diese mögliche Nebenwirkung von Ciprofloxacin geachtet werden.Keywords
