Background: Monitoring and managing adverse drug reactions (ADR) are critical for treating drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB).
Objective: To study symptomatic, linezolid-attributable ADRs in TB patients initiated on all oral longer bedaquiline-based treatment regime for multidrug-resistant/rifampicin-resistant (MDR/RR)-TB under programmatic conditions.
Methods: It was a multicenter, retrospective study of people with MDR/RR-TB in nine TB units in Nagpur, India, from March 2020 to April 2022.

Background: Neuropathic adverse events occur frequently in linezolid-containing regimens, some of which remain irreversible after drug discontinuation.
Objective: We aimed to identify and validate a host RNA-based biomarker that can predict linezolid-associated neuropathy before multidrug-resistant/rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (MDR/RR-TB) treatment initiation and to identify genes and pathways that are associated with linezolid-associated neuropathy.
Methods: Adult patients initiating MDR/RR-TB treatment including linezolid were prospectively enrolled in 3 independent cohorts in Germany.

Objective: Linezolid is one of the key drugs for the treatment of multidrug-resistant/extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR/XDR-TB). We aimed to describe the incorporation of the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI) and serum trough concentration as screening tools for neurotoxicity in the management of MDR/XDR-TB patients receiving a linezolid-based treatment regimen in Shenzhen, China.
Methods: A total of 73 patients on a linezolid-containing anti-MDR/XDR-TB regimen were prospectively enrolled.

To report a case of linezolid-induced toxic optic neuropathy. Clinical examination and imaging are presented over a 4-month interval from initial presentation to subsequent follow-up of 4 months after discontinuation of linezolid. The patient was found to have optic neuropathy as demonstrated by clinical presentation and examination.

We evaluated 57 MDR TB patients who had received >1 dose of linezolid during 2011-2016. Overall, patients received 600 mg/day of linezolid for a median of 13 months.
