Abstract

We report two cases of acute hypotension after intravenous azithromycin administration in children with acute, decompensated heart failure. In each of our reported cases, azithromycin was being used to treat possible Mycoplasma myocarditis. In this report, we aim to describe hypotension as a potentially rare adverse reaction to intravenous azithromycin and encourage judicious use in patients with cardiac dysfunction.
