Özet
Objective Our aim was to present a child with visual hallucinations possibly associated with oral clarithromycin administration. Case report A 4-year-old child was admitted to our hospital with an onset of visual hallucinations after taking the second dose of clarithromycin by mouth. The symptoms gradually disappeared in a week once the clarithromycin therapy had been discontinued. She was observed for a month without any symptoms or further treatment. She was suspected of having Hoigne syndrome (also called as antibiomania) induced by clarithromycin syndrome. Conclusion This report highlights neuropsychological adverse effects due to therapeutic doses of clarithromycin therapy as a possible adverse effect in children.
