Abstract
A 59-year-old man with relapsed pulmonary TB developed rifampin resistance. He presented with chronic untreated hepatitis B, which developed into liver cirrhosis, type 2 diabetes with diabetic retinopathy, and osteoarthritis of right knee. His initial MDR regimen included levofloxacin, cycloserine, bedaquiline, linezolid, and high-dose isoniazid. He developed episodes of linezolid-induced myelosuppression, resulting in temporary discontinuation and dose reduction, and ultimately, substitution of linezolid. On the seventh month of treatment, he developed severe depression with visual hallucination, resulting in cycloserine dose reduction. We maintained the principle of at least 4 active drugs throughout his treatment. He was considered cured after 26 months of treatment.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
