Abstract

Linezolid is a drug used frequently for the treatment of infections due to resistant gram-positive bacteria including methicillin-resistant Stapylococcus aereus (MRSA), penicillin-resistant pneumococcus and vancomycin-resistant enterococcus. However, reversible bone marrow suppression has been reported in cases treated with linezolid in high doses for 2 weeks. Here we reported the development linezolidassociated pancytopenia in a hemodialysis patient with catheter infection. This patient was treated with linezolid for blood stream MRSA infection. Fever and other symptoms regressed at the beginning but fever and pancytopenia developed on the 10th day of linezolid therapy. After excluding other causes of pancytopenia, linezolid treatment was changed to a combination of meropenem and daptomycin. The pancytopenia regressed in a 6 day and did not recur during the 13-month follow-up.

Özet

Linezolid, metisilin dirençli stafilokokus aureus (MRSA), penisilin dirençli pnömokokus ve vankomisin dirençli enterokokus gibi dirençli gram pozitif bakterilere bağlı gelişen enfeksiyonların tedavisinde sıklıkla kullanılır. Ancak 2 hafta boyunca yüksek doz linezolid ile tedavi edilen hastalarda, linezolid tedavisine sekonder geri dönüşümlü kemik iliği baskılanması nadiren bildirilmiştir. Burada, kan kültüründe MRSA üremesi olan ve linezolid tedavisi sırasında ateş ve pansitopeni gelişen hemodiyaliz hastası sunulmuştur. Linezolid tedavisi ile ateş ve enfeksiyon iyi kontrol altında iken, tedavinin 10. gününde yeniden ateş ve pansitopeni gelişti. Diğer nedenler dışlandıktan sonra pansitopeni linezolid ilişkili olabileceği düşünüldü ve linezolid yerine meropenem -daptomycin kombinasyonu başlandı. Linezolid kesildikten kısa süre sonra pansitopeni geriledi ve 13 aylık takipte pansitopeni yeniden gözlenmedi.
