Levofloxacin is a recently introduced fluoroquinolone. In this paper we report four cases (three female, aged 39 to 70 years old) of Achilles tendinitis occurring in a period of few months. Two patients on chronic dialysis, one kidney transplant recipient, and one patient with chronic vasculitis, both with normal renal function. All were chronically using corticosteroids. In the four cases, tendinitis had an acute onset with bilateral involvement and was invalidating. In 3 cases the onset of tendinitis was early during levofloxacin treatment and in 1 case, it began 10 days after the end of the treatment.
