Özet:

 

Drug-induced QT prolongation with T wave inversion is a complex regulatory and clinical problem due to the rarity of this potentially fatal adverse incident. A 68-year-old female patient was receiving piperacillin/tazobactam therapy for a complicated urinary tract infection. She has had normal ECG findings before the antibacterial therapy. After the treatment, the patient worsens due to long QT which is predisposed to torsades de pointes. As a result of the researches, it was understood that the cause of long QT was piperacillin/tazobactam. We aimed to present a rare case in which we detected drug-induced QTc prolongation with piperacillin/tazobactam in clinical practice.
