We present a case of severe optic neuropathy following linezolid treatment, which led to complete irreversible blindness, in a patient with progressive muscular dystrophy, treated with linezolid for 16 days for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) pneumonia. Interruption of antibiotic therapy did not lead to remission of ocular symptoms. Administration of linezolid may lead to severe neuropathy even in the case of short-term treatment.
我们报告了一例在患有进行性肌营养不良的患者中,使用利奈唑胺治疗耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)肺炎16天后出现严重视神经病变并导致完全不可逆失明的病例。中断抗生素治疗并未使眼部症状缓解。即使是短期治疗,使用利奈唑胺也可能导致严重神经病变。
