    (Hindawi Limited, 2012) Cetin M.; Yilidrimer M.; Özen S.; Tanrverdi S.; Coskun S.
    Long QT syndrome develops for a number of reasons. The number of non-antiarrhythmic drugs reported to induce QT interval prolongation with or without torsade de pointes continues to increase. Clarithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic being increasingly used for the treatment of atypical pneumonia. In this paper, we describe a patient who developed long QT prolongation syndrome after receiving clarithromycin for the treatment of atypical pneumonia. © Copyright 2012 Mecnun Cetin et al.
