“…In the original study, the authors reported 192 patients in the levofloxacin group and 185 patients in the ciprofloxacin group had at least one adverse event; the most common were nausea, headache, and diarrhea. 10 The authors went on to state that 17 patients in the levofloxacin group and 15 in the ciprofloxacin group had significant adverse drug events. Unfortunately, they failed to report any episodes of C difficile infection, QTc prolongation, or tendon rupture-all of which can occur with these agents.…”

“…In Korea, the resistance rate of fluoroquinolone (6.9-12.9%) and third-generation cephalosporin (ex, cefotaxim: 0.8-10.2%) antibiotics is reported to be around 10% [24,26]. If the dose of fluoroquinolone is increased, the treatment period may be shortened to 5 days (LE: 1b, GR: B) [36,37]. But, considering the global expression pattern of fluoroquinolone-resistant E. coli, the use of an initial high dose of fluoroquinolone should be limited.…”

“…lub 500 mg p.o. dwa razy dziennie przez 10 dni, uzyskując eradykację u 79,8% chorych leczonych lewofloksacyną i 77,5% po cyprofloksacynie, przy czym wskaźnik eradykacji mikrobiologicznej wynosił odpowiednio 88,3% i 86,7% [76]. Z kolei w badaniu porównującym czas uzyskania poprawy i hospitalizacji w grupie 358 chorych z objawami zakażenia układu moczowego wykazano, że po leczeniu ertapenemem czas poprawy (30 godzin) i leczenia szpitalnego (3 dni) był najkrótszy w porównaniu do podawanego ceftriaksonu (39 godzin i 4 dni) i lewofloksacyny (38 godzin i 4 dni), co jednak łączyło się z ponoszonymi kosztami, bo najtańsza okazała się terapia ceftriaksonem, a następnie ertapenemem i lewofloksacyną [77].…”
