Abstract:
An 85-year old lady was treated for acute diverticulitis with intravenous antibiotics. As she recovered, the antibiotic regimen was changed to oral Ciprofloxacin. Shortly after commencing the course, she experienced acute left heel pain. An ultrasound scan of the left Achilles tendon confirmed a partial thickness tear. She was managed conservatively with an Air Cast boot for 3 months, and made a full recovery.
