Levofloxacin-Induced Hepatotoxicity in Patients With Legionnaires' Disease: Implications and Management
CUREUS JOURNAL OF MEDICAL SCIENCE(2023)
摘要
Legionnaires' disease (LD), caused by the Legionella bacterium, primarily manifests as pneumonia and could result in a spectrum of clinical severity. As treatment necessitates the use of antibiotics, levofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone, is a commonly preferred option due to its broad-spectrum activity. However, the potential side effects of levofloxacin, including rare instances of hepatotoxicity, introduce a therapeutic challenge. This case report explores the association between levofloxacin and hepatotoxicity and its implications for treating LD.
