Rationale: Linezolid (LNZ) induced Cutaneous Adverse Drug Reactions (CADRs) have rare atypical presentation. Till date, there are very few published case reports on LNZ induced CADRs among the multidrug-resistant patients suffering from Infective Endocarditis (MDR IE). Here, we present a rare case report of LNZ induced CARs in a MDR IE patient. Case report: A 24-year-old female patient was admitted to the hospital with chief complaints of fever (101°C) associated with rigors, chills, and shortness of breath (grade IV) for the past 4 days. She was diagnosed with MDR IE, having a prior history of rheumatic heart disease. She was prescribed LNZ 600mg IV BD for MDR IE, against Staphylococcus coagulase-negative. The patient experienced flares of cutaneous reactions with multiple hyper-pigmented maculopapular lesions all over the body after one week of LNZ therapy. Upon causality assessment, she was found to be suffering from LNZ induced CADRs. LNZ dose was tapered gradually and discontinued. The patient was prescribed corticosteroids along with other supportive care. Her reactions completely subsided and infection got controlled following 1 month of therapy. Conclusion: Healthcare professionals should be vigilant for rare CADRs, while monitoring the patients on LNZ therapy especially in MDR patients as they are exposed to multiple drugs. Moreover, strengthened spontaneous reporting is required for better quantification.

Introduction. Patients on dialysis for end-stage renal failure are subjected to cardiac surgery with increasing frequency. End-stage renal failure is known to be an important risk factor for complications of cardiac operations performed with cardiopulmonary bypass. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of preoperative clinical status and operative variables on perioperative morbidity and mortality in hemodialysis dependent patients subjected to a cardiac surgery. Material and Methods. The following operative variables were examined: urgency, type and duration of surgery and duration of extracorporeal circulation. The study is a retrospective analysis of consecutive patients with end-stage renal failure dependent on maintenance hemodialysis who underwent cardiac surgery during four years. Results. The study included 46 patients. Operations performed included isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG, n = 24), valve surgery alone (n = 6), and combined valve surgery or coronary artery bypass grafting and valve surgery (n = 16). The perioperative mortality rate was 13% with four fatal outcomes in patients who had undergone combined cardiac surgery. We found age > 70 years, preoperative New York Heart Association class IV, preoperative anemia, combined surgery and emergent surgery to be associated with a higher relative risk for perioperative death. Conclusion. Patients on dialysis have an increased morbidity and mortality following cardiac surgery; however, we believe that end-stage renal failure should not be regarded as a contraindication to cardiac surgery or cardiopulmonary bypass.
