  • Title: Short-term success, but long-term treatment failure with linezolid for enterococcal endocarditis.
    Author: Berdal JE, Eskesen A.
    Journal: Scand J Infect Dis; 2008; 40(9):765-6. PubMed ID: 18609208.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of linezolid treatment failure for Enterococcus faecalis endocarditis. Despite success during and shortly after treatment, the patient had a relapse after 7 weeks. Due to prior anaphylactic reaction to penicillin, desensitization was performed, and successful penicillin therapy given. The efficacy of linezolid for enterococcal endocarditis remains questionable.
