Therapeutic drug monitoring of linezolid in a case of pulmonary nocardiosis: a case report.

This clinical case discusses a man between 60 and 70 years old with lung adenocarcinoma who developed a infection. Because it is an intracellular bacterium, we need to start antibiotic treatment and maintain for a year. For initial therapy, sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim (SMX/TMP) is the preferred antibiotic, but it can cause side effects, such as liver damage.
