Polymyxin B (PMB) and colistin are bactericidal polypeptide antibiotics discovered in 1947 and 1949 for the treatment of gram-negative bacterial infections. Polymyxin was used clinically in the 1950s, but it was gradually replaced by other antibiotics in the 1980s because of its high nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity. In recent years, the increase of multidrug-resistant negative bacteria has led to the resurgence of polymyxin use. However, its side effects are not clear. Respiratory paralysis caused by PMB-related neuromuscular blockade is a rare but potentially fatal effect. We report a case of respiratory paralysis probably caused by polymyxin B infusion.
多粘菌素B(PMB)和黏菌素是1947年和1949年发现的用于治疗革兰氏阴性菌感染的杀菌性多肽抗生素。多粘菌素于20世纪50年代开始临床使用,但由于其高肾毒性和神经毒性,在20世纪80年代逐渐被其他抗生素所取代。近年来,多重耐药阴性菌的增加导致了多粘菌素使用的再度兴起。然而,其副作用尚不清楚。由PMB相关的神经肌肉阻滞引起的呼吸麻痹是一种罕见但可能致命的效应。我们报告一例可能由静脉输注多粘菌素B引起的呼吸麻痹病例。
