The acute interstitial nephritis induced by azithromycin

Sir, Azithromycin, a well-tolerated macrolide antibiotic that can be dosed once daily, is commonly prescribed both in children and adults with respiratory tract infections. Interstitial nephritis induced by azithromycin has been previously described in two patients [1, 2]. The first case presented chronic renal failure after the second episode of acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) and the second case was still on haemodialysis 10 months after the onset of AIN.
