概要
Cinoxacin is an oral synthetic antibacterial agent, of the second generation quinolones group, with excellent efficacy in respiratory, intra-abdominal, pelvic, and skin and soft tissue infections. Overall, quinolones are well tolerated drugs, although phototoxicity and photoallergenicity is well demonstrated experimentally. In this report we show you a case of a man who presented a anaphylactic reaction associated with myocardial infarction, after taking a capsule of cinoxacin. We suppose that there is a direct participation of the heart in anaphylactic reactions, because acttivated mast-cells mediators can determine cardiovascular effects. Then performed double-blind placebo controlled challenge test with an alternative drug. We did not observe any adverse immediate or late adverse reaction to this drug.
