Abstract BackgroundPrevious study has illustrated that the factors can affect the duration of neuromuscular blockade. Vegetarian habits may affect osteoporosis and respiratory muscle tone.Case PresentationThe purpose of this report is to record the first unusual prolonged neuromuscular block by concomitant clindamycin in a vegetarian. ConclusionClinical doses of clindamycin may significantly prolong the neuromuscular blockade of “short-acting” no depolarizing muscle relaxants when the patient is so weak and vegetarian. This requires vigilance and routine monitoring of the neuromuscular junction by the anesthesiologist.
