A Case Developing Bigemina Ventricular Extrasystole After Moxifloxacin-Induced Anaphylaxis

Abstract

Anaphylaxis is a multisystemic hypersensitivity reaction that develops suddenly after exposure to an allergenic substance, and causes life-threatening circulatory and respiratory problems if the intervention is delayed. Anaphylaxis is often caused by drugs, insect bites, and food. In case of anaphylaxis, dysrhythmias may be observed as a result of cardiac side effects. In our case, we presented a patient who developed anaphylaxis and concomitant ventricular dysrhythmia after the sixth dose of moxifloxacin tablet, a quinolone antibiotic for the treatment of upper respiratory tract infection.

Moksifloksasine Bağlı Anafilaksi Sonrası Bigemine Ventriküler Ekstrasistol Gelişen Olgu

Abstract

Anafilaksi; alerjen bir madde ile karşılaşma sonrası ani gelişen, müdahelede geç kalınması durumunda dolaşımsal ve solunumsal problemlere yol açarak hayati tehdit oluşturan, multisistemik bir hipersensitivite reaksiyonudur. Anafilaksiye sıklıka ilaçlar, böcek ısırmaları ve besinler sebep olur. Anafilaksi durumunda kardiyak yan etkiler görülmesi sonucu disritmiler gözlenebilir. Biz olgumuzda üst solunum yolu enfeksiyonu tedavisi amaçlı kinolon grubu bir antibiyotik olan moksifloksasin tabletin altıncı dozu sonrası anafilaksi ve beraberinde ender görülen ventriküler disrtimi gelişen hastayı sunduk.
