Abstract
Fluoroquinolones are reported to have peripheral nerve toxic effects that can be severe and permanent in adults. However, limited data exist for children. We describe a case of acute-onset peripheral neuropathy associated with ciprofloxacin in a 13-year-old boy who was characterized by severe dysesthesia and erythema of both hands and feet, but which resolved promptly after ceasing the antibiotic.
