Mitochondrial Toxicity Associated with Linezolid
Open accessAbstract
To the Editor: Linezolid belongs to a family of antimicrobial agents (oxazolidinones) that inhibit bacterial protein synthesis by preventing the fusion of 30S and 50S ribosomal subunits.1 Hyperlactatemia, metabolic acidosis, and peripheral neuropathy are adverse effects of linezolid,2,3 which could be related to the drug's capacity for interference with mitochondrial function.4 We studied mitochondria from three patients in whom asthenia and hyperlactatemia developed during a prolonged course of oral linezolid (600 mg every 12 hours). Patient 1, a 25-year-old man with Enterococcus faecium infection of a knee prosthesis, received oral linezolid. After three months, mild asthenia and hyperlactatemia developed . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
