Risk of Tendon Injury in Patients Treated With Fluoroquinolone (FQ) Vs Non-Fluoroquinolone Antibiotics for Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)
In this population of predominantly young female patients without high incidence of potentially contributing comorbidities, increased risk of tendon injury was not associated with FQ use. Future research is needed to determine whether demographic differences between this and other previously studied populations account for this discordant result.
