A Case of Lactic Acidosis Caused by Linezolid Treatment of Persistent Methicillin-ResistantStaphylococcus AureusBacteremia
2012
Korean Journal of Medicine
Linezolid is an antibiotic in the oxazolidinone family that works as a bacterial protein synthesis inhibitor. It is used for the treatment of Gram-positive, multidrug-resistant bacteria. Adverse effects of linezolid include bone marrow suppression, peripheral or optic neuropathy, and, less commonly, lactic acidosis. Lactic acidosis usually occurs as a result of cardiopulmonary failure or sepsis, but it is sometimes caused by drugs, such as linezolid, and treatment of such lactic acidosis
