Even so&#44; the cause goes undiscovered on some occasions&#46; Toxic neuropathies represent a small percentage of this group&#39;s diseases&#59; some cases may be reversible&#44; which makes identifying them all the more important&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0005"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a> At present&#44; the appearance of new drugs such as linezolid means that we have to be especially alert in order to detect potential neurotoxic side effects that had not been described before those drugs were marketed&#46;</p><p id="par0010" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Our patient was a 24-year-old female smoker &#40;20 cigarettes per day&#41; with no other history of drug use&#46; She was being treated with paroxetine for depressive disorder and used a vaginal ring&#59; there was no other relevant medical or surgical history&#46; She was referred to the hospital by her primary care doctor&#44; who had observed positive Mantoux and bacilloscopy in a contact tracing study&#59; her partner had recently been diagnosed with pleuropulmonary TB&#46; Upon admission&#44; the patient was completely asymptomatic and reported no fever&#44; wasting syndrome&#44; or respiratory problems&#46; We began treatment with isoniazid&#44; rifampicin&#44; and pyrazinamide&#46; After checking for good tolerance to the treatment &#40;the patient only showed a slight increase in uric acid caused by the pyrazinamide&#41; and a negative bacilloscopy&#44; the patient was discharged&#46; Since the sputum culture was positive for <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Mycobacterium chelonae</span>&#44; tuberculostatic treatment was replaced with clarithromycin&#44; ethambutol&#44; and linezolid dosed at 1200<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mg daily&#46; Three months after the treatment modification&#44; she was readmitted for symptoms of dyspepsia&#44; diarrhoea&#44; and major asthenia&#46; Analytical tests revealed normocytic anaemia &#40;haemoglobin 6&#46;8<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mg&#47;dl and 20&#46;1&#37; haematocrit&#41;&#46; The patient also reported a painful dysaesthetic sensation in both feet&#46; Examination revealed superficial tactile hypoaesthesia of the feet with Achilles tendon areflexia&#44; patellar tendon hyporeflexia&#44; mildly ataxic wide-based gait&#44; and very slight heel-knee dysmetry&#46; Results from the nerve conduction study were compatible with predominantly sensory and axonal neuropathy of the lower extremities&#46; Analyses for vitamin B<span class="elsevierStyleInf">12</span>&#44; folic acid&#44; cryoglobulins&#44; immunoelectrophoresis&#44; serology studies &#40;for Borrelia&#44; Brucella&#44; syphilis&#44; hepatitis B and C&#44; cytomegalovirus&#44; HIV&#44; herpes simplex&#44; and varicella zoster&#41; and TSH were all normal&#46; We also performed a visual evoked potential test and brain and cervical MRI scans&#59; there were no pathological findings&#46; Anaemia and digestive symptoms were studied with the aid of coprocultures&#44; fibrogastroscopy&#44; marked leukocyte scintigraphy&#44; and bone marrow biopsy&#44; all of which returned normal results&#46; In principle&#44; all symptoms are compatible with the side effects of linezolid treatment&#46; The digestive problems and the anaemia both abated after suspension of the drug&#46; The painful polyneuropathy of the lower limbs required invasive treatment in the pain unit&#46; An epidural catheter with an infusion of levobupivacaine remained in place for approximately 1 month&#46; A year later&#44; the patient required treatment with oxcarbazepine&#44; duloxetine and delayed-release tramadol&#46; Although ethambutol was also administered in this case and may also cause peripheral neuropathy&#44; the clinical manifestations with anaemia and gastrointestinal problems have already been described as side effects of linezolid&#46; This leads us to believe that the polyneuropathy was secondary to linezolid&#44; although we cannot rule out the possibility of a synergistic effect exerted by both drugs&#46;</p><p id="par0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Linezolid is the first antibiotic in the oxazolidinone group to be effective against Gram-positive micro-organisms that are resistant to meticillin and vancomycin&#46; The drug&#39;s action profile and good level of tolerance among patients meant that its first main use was the treatment of chronic osteomyelitis and infections in prostheses&#46; A treatment duration of less than 28 days was initially recommended&#44; but prolonged use caused reversible myelosuppression in addition to other then unknown side effects&#44; such as neuritis optica<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0010"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a> and polyneuropathy&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0015"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a> A number of case studies have also shown linezolid to be effective in treating strains of <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Mycobacterium tuberculosis</span> resistant to other first-line drugs&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0020"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4&#8211;8</span></a> This is why continuing linezolid use more than 28 days is increasingly common&#44;

Although an article by Spellberg et al&#46; claims that the drug does not seem to affect neuropathy&#44; that article only refers to a series of 2 cases&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0055"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">11</span></a> A recently published study<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0060"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">12</span></a> on treating multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis with linezolid includes 30 cases&#44;

In the last case&#44; intractable polyneuropathy led doctors to suspend treatment in the fifth month&#46; The same patient had poorly controlled diabetes mellitus&#44; as did case 2 in the article by Rho et al&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0010"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a> In both diabetic patients&#44; painful neuropathy proved difficult to treat&#46; Diabetes&#44; even with no prior history of neuropathy&#44; may be a concomitant factor that should be taken into account&#46; The series of 85 patients published by Migliori et al&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0040"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">8</span></a> reports 3 cases of polyneuropathy&#46; Doses of 1200<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mg daily were administered in 2 of the cases&#59; the remaining case received a daily dose of 600<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mg&#46; Furthermore&#44; this article concludes that while drug effectiveness is the same for both doses&#44; the rate of side effects is significantly higher for the higher dose &#40;4 of the 28 patients on 600<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mg&#47;day had side effects vs 31 of the 57 patients on 1200<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mg&#47;day&#41;&#46;</p><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Lastly&#44; we must point out that in all articles in the literature describing the characteristics of this type of neuropathy&#44; the neuropathy was painful&#46; We have even found a case<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0065"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">13</span></a> description in which the nerve conduction study was normal&#44; but cutaneous biopsy showed fine fibre neuropathy&#46; Therefore&#44; knowing that a patient experiencing neuropathic pain has been treated with linezolid is extremely relevant to the diagnosis of the neuropathy&#46; Furthermore&#44; this condition may become more widespread if linezolid use becomes more widespread and prolonged&#46;</p></span>"
