ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

"Torsades de pointes", a life-threatening rhythm disorder, is a polymorphic ventricular tachycardia that usually develops in association with a prolonged QT interval. Fluconazole, an anti-fungal drug, may also induce QT prolongation, in some cases subsequent torsades de pointes. Herein, we report a 16-year-old female presenting "torsades de pointes" after administration of fluconazole and rapidly improved upon cessation of the drug.
