The tolerability of linezolid in the treatment of nontuberculous mycobacterial disease.

چکیده
We conducted a retrospective cohort study at six NTM treatment centres in North America and sought to evaluate tolerability of linezolid in NTM patients who were using linezolid prior to January 2013. All of the included patients either met the American Thoracic Society (ATS)/Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) criteria for pulmonary NTM disease or had extrapulmonary disease (defined as positive NTM soft tissue or sterile site culture). Statistical analyses were performed using Stata version 11.0 (Stata, College Station, TX, USA).

The condition is a form of anticytokine autoantibody syndrome. It is difficult to treat because of multiple drug resistance in mycobacteria. Linezolid is active against NTM in vitro; however clinical experience using this drug against N...
