Kinolon ilişkili nadir bir komplikasyon: Uzun QT sendromu

Enfekte diyabetik ayak ülserlerinin tedavisinde antibiyotikler sık kullanılan tedavi ajanları arasında yer almaktadır. Ancak antibiyotiklere bağlı bazen hayatı tehdit edebilecek boyutta ciddi yan etkiler görülebilir. Bu yazıda enfekte diyabetik ayak ülseri nedeniyle kinolon grubu antibiyotik tedavisi başlanan bir hastada bu tedaviyi takiben gelişen uzun QT sendromu ve devamında kardiyopulmoner arrest gelişen ve defibrilasyon tedavisi ile reanimasyonu sağlanan oldukça nadir bir vaka tartışılarak nadir görülen komplikasyon üzerine dikkat çekmeyi amaçladık.

Quinolone-associated a rare complication: Long QT syndrome

In the treatment of infected diabetic foot ulcers, antibiotics are frequently used as treatment agents. However, serious adverse effects may be seen on antibiotics, which can sometimes be life-threatening. In this article, we aimed to draw attention to a rare complication in a patientwhowastreatedwithquinoloneantibioticsduetoinfecteddiabeticfootulcer, a rare long QT syndrome following this treatment, subsequent cardiopulmonary arrest and reanimation with defibrillation therapy.
