Article Abstract
Foreign body aspirations occur among children more than adults and can cause life threatening complications. Acute respiratory failure due to foreign body aspiration in adults is a rare condition. We reported a 76-years-old woman who admitted to the emergency room with respiratory failure. The chest X-ray showed total collapse of the left lung. A ciprofloxacin tablet was observed and extracted during the bronchoscopy. To the best of our knowledge this is the first report of a ciprofloxacin tablet aspiration.
