Linezolid in the treatment of multidrug-resistant/extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis in paediatric patients: experience of a paediatric infectious diseases unit

Paula Kjöllerström et al. Scand J Infect Dis. 2011 Jul.

Abstract

Linezolid has been used in the treatment of multidrug-resistant/extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis in adults with encouraging results, however experience in children is scarce. We describe our experience with the use of linezolid as part of a multidrug regimen in the treatment of 4 patients who had persistent positive cultures, despite prolonged combined therapy.
