Abstract
The case we present describes an episode of serious postoperative hypoglycemia after cardiopulmonary bypass for a relatively minor cardiac procedure. A fluoroquinolone antibiotic had been administered, and we believe that this strongly contributed to this event. Fluoroquinolone antibiotics have a recognized propensity to alter glucose homeostasis.Keywords
