Linezolid-induced serotonin toxicity in a patient not taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors or serotonin receptor antagonists.

چکیده
Linezolid is an oxazolidinone antibiotic with weak monoamine oxidase (MAO) type A and MAO type B inhibitory effects. Linezolid has been associated with serotonin toxicity when used concomitantly with multiple medications that are known to increase serotonin concentrations. We report the case of a 65-year-old woman with signs and symptoms of serotonin toxicity following administration of linezolid for treatment of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus pneumonia.

متن کاملSerotonin toxicity and malignant hyperthermia: role of 5-HT2 receptors.
EditorÐWe congratulate the authors on an excellent review of aspects of the pathophysiology of malignant hyperthermia (MH). They have explained the postulated role of serotonin in MH, in particular the role of peripheral 5-HT2 receptors, based on in vitro and in vivo animal work. There are important parallels between serotonin toxicity and MH, and this review adds to our understanding of the ro...
