Abstract

A large number of oral drugs have been reported to cause pillinduced esophagitis in the medical literature. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case in which telithromycin was the cause of pill-induced esophagitis. In this report, we describe a male patient who admitted to the hospital with dysphagia and retrosternal pain after taking telithromycin (Ketek®) for acute sinusitis. He had a history of swallowing the film tablet with at least a glass of water and lying down immediately after taking the drug. An upper endoscopic examination demonstrated a deep ulceration of 1 cm diameter in the middle of the esophagus surrounded by relatively normal mucosa. Lansoprazole 30 mg was started. His symptoms improved seven days after cessation of the drug. The esophagus was completely normal in control endoscopy after two weeks. Telithromycin may cause esophageal lesions; therefore, patients should be educated by physicians about the drug’s side effects and should drink at least 100 ml water after swallowing the medication. Drug administration should be in the upright position.

Özet

Tıbbi literatürde çok sayıda ilacın oral alımı sonrası gelişen ilaca bağlı özafajit vakası rapor edilmiştir. Bizim bilgilerimize göre, bu vaka telitromisin alımı sonrası gelişen ilk özafajit vakası dır. Bu vaka sunusunda; Akut sinüzit nedeniyle telitromisin (Ketek) kullanımı sonrası göğüs ağrısı ve disfaji ile hastanemize başvuran bir erkek hasta takdim edilmiştir. Hastanın anamnezinde, az miktarda su ile ilaç yutulması ve ilaç alımından hemen sonra yattığına dair bilgi mevcuttu. Hastanın endoskopik muayenesinde özafagusun ortasında etrafı normal mukoza ile kaplı olan 1 cm çapında derin ülser tespit edilmiştir. İlaç kesilip lansaprazol bağlandıktan 7 gün sonra semptomlar düzelmiştir. 2 hafta sonra yapılan kontrol endoskopisinde özafagustaki lezyonların tamamen düzeldiği gözlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, Telitromisin oral alımı sonrası özafagusta lezyonlara neden olabilir, bu yüzden doktorlar tarafından telitromisinin yan etkileri konusunda hastalar bilgilendirilmeli ve ilacın en az 100 ml su ile ve ayakta yutulması gerektiği hususunda uyarılmalıdır.
