Severe Optic Neuropathy Induced by Very Prolonged Tedizolid as Suppressive Therapy: Description of a Case Report and Implication for Better Assessment
Year: 2024
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: The long-term tolerability of linezolid is low because of mitochondrial toxicity, whereas tedizolid may represent a better option for suppressive therapy. We report a first presumed case of tedizolid-associated optic neuropathy after a very prolonged (18-month) intake and believe that screening for optic neuropathy should be considered for patients undergoing tedizolid suppression.
