Abstract

Roxithromycin is an oral macrolide antibiotic agent frequently used in the clinical setting. The risk of pro-arrhythmia during roxithromycin use has always been considered extremely remote. We describe a patient who developed prolongation of the QT interval and torsades de pointes under roxithromycin treatment.
