Risk factors for anaemia in patients on prolonged linezolid therapy for chronic osteomyelitis: a case-control study

Abstract

The intrinsic properties of the new antibiotic linezolid make it an attractive candidate for the treatment of chronic osteomyelitis. However, data regarding the tolerance of long-term linezolid administration are still lacking. The medical charts of patients given linezolid for >4 weeks were retrospectively analysed, especially their haematology. In a case-control study, we compared the respective characteristics of patients who developed anaemia during linezolid therapy and those who did not. Forty-five adults with chronic osteomyelitis received 600 mg linezolid intravenously twice daily for 7 days, and then orally, for a mean total duration of 15.9 weeks (range, 6-36). Anaemia episodes requiring blood transfusion occurred in 13/45 patients (28.9%). Median time from treatment initiation to anaemia onset was 7.4 weeks (range, 4-16). Anaemia was significantly associated with premature linezolid therapy cessation (P = 0.0012). No linezolid-related thrombocytopenia was observed. By univariate analysis, four variables were associated with the occurrence of anaemia: age >58 years, alcohol abuse, diabetes mellitus and low haemoglobin before linezolid treatment. Logistic regression analysis revealed two independent risk factors for an...Continue Reading

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.
