Abstract

We describe 7 Achilles tendinitis occurring during fluoroquinolone treatment. Antibiotic agents used were pefloxacin and ofloxacin. In 3 cases the course was complicated by rupture of the tendon, one of which is histologically documented. The toxic effects of quinolones on tendon is discussed.
