Summary:Levofloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic, commonly used for respiratory and urinary tract infections.

We report a case of a 63-year-old man with chronic kidney disease who developed bilateral Achilles tendon rupture 2 days after taking levofloxacin, and review the associated risk factors and pathophysiology.
