Bilateral plantar tendinitis during levofloxacin therapy.

摘要

A 51-year-old woman was referred with suspicion of deep vein thrombosis 8 days after successful aorto-coronary bypass surgery.On clinical examination a mild swelling of the calves with little pitting oedema were found. Plantar tendons on both feet were crepitating, rough and hurtful under palpation. On complete compression ultrasound (CCUS) proximal or distal deep vein thrombosis were excluded, but features of plantar tendinitis including oedema surrounding the plantar tendons of D II-IV on both feet were detected.
