High rifampicin-resistant TB cure rates and prevention of severe ototoxicity after replacing the injectable by linezolid in early stage of hearing loss

Mahamadou Bassirou Souleymane et al.

Summary: The study showed that replacing injectables with linezolid in RR-TB patients can prevent severe ototoxicity, while maintaining high treatment success rates and manageable adverse events. Regular audiometry monitoring and prompt use of linezolid after detecting hearing abnormalities were effective strategies in preventing severe hearing loss.
