TI  - Clarithromycin induced psychotic disorder 
with catatonic-like features in an adolescent
girl: Case report
AB  - Delusions and/or hallucinations developed during exposure to a medication are diagnosed medication induced 
psychotic disorder. Antibiotic-induced psychotic disorder 
have been well documented among adults. The etiology 
is not clear, clinical presentation is variable and catatonia-like symptoms can be seen. The prognosis is good, 
the symptoms decrease with the discontination of the 
drug, and long-term treatment is often not required. In 
this case, 16-year-old girl who presented with acute 
catatonia-like symptoms will be described. Family history 
of clarithromycin-induced behaviour changes accelerated the diagnosis process. Medication induced psychotic 
disorder should be thought in differential diagnosis of 
young people with acute psyhotic symptoms.
