Abstract
<p>Ciprofloxacin has generally been well-tolerated and is the commonly prescribed fluoroquinolone antibiotic for treatment of urinary tract and gastrointestinal infection. The adverse effects on the liver usually range from asymptomatic elevation of liver enzymes to fulminant hepatitis. However, acute fulminant hepatitis and cholestatic hepatitis are reported rarely in literature<strong>. </strong>Here,<strong> </strong>we report a case of ciprofloxacin induced cholestatic hepatitis in a 52 year old woman<strong> </strong>following intravenous ciprofloxacin for acute gastroenteritis.</p>
