ASENSIO-SANCHEZ, V.M. et al. Visual hallucinations secondary to ciprofloxacin treatment. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2007, vol.82, n.5, pp.299-302. ISSN 0365-6691.
Case report: We describe a case of a 74-year-old woman who experienced visual hallucinations after ciprofloxacin administration, when she was also taking theophylline, which resolved on cessation of the ciprofloxacin. Discussion: Although uncommon, all ophthalmologists should be aware of this potential problem and be familiar with the adverse visual effects which may occur in patients simultaneously administered quinolones and theophylline.
Palavras-chave : Quinolones; ciprofloxacin; theophylline; visual hallucinations; simultaneous treatments.
