ABSTRACT
The quinolones are generally well tolerated. The adverse reactions of quinolones include gastrointestinal symptoms, which are the most frequent, neuropsychiatric symptoms, hematologic abnormalities and less frequently, hypersensitivity skin reactions. Herein we report a case of 13 years old boy, who was suffering from upper respiratory tract infection and was treated with ofloxacin by a private practitioner and developed hypersensitivity reaction, one hour after taking ofloxacin tablet. Hospitalization and treatment of patient was carried out. Since hypersensitivity reaction to ofloxacin is rare, proper history of drug reactions should be taken while prescribing ofloxacin. Attention must be paid to potential side-effects of the drug while prescribing any medication, and close follow-up with patients is a medical necessity to evaluate for these adverse reactions, especially with quinolones.
