Immediate Superficial Venous Thrombophlebitis Associated with Intravenous Administration of Ciprofloxacin

An 8-year-old child had asthma and a history of bladder exstrophy repair that was complicated by vesicocutaneous fistula formation. He underwent antegrade nephrostogram and nephrostomy tube replacement and received intravenous midazolam, fentanyl, and propofol for general anesthesia. The procedures were without complication. About 1.5 hours after the procedures while the patient was stable, he was given intravenous ciprofloxacin, which he had received the day before, via a peripheral line on his right hand.
