A 19-year-old woman developed an immediate psychotic reaction following intravenous administration of clarithromycin. She responded to atypical antipsychotic drugs but needed psychiatric hospitalisation. She recovered after a year and is now symptom-free without any medication. This is a rare side-effect, but needs to be recognised.
