Abstract:

Linezolid (LZD) has good antibacterial activity against methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus,penicillin-resistant pneumococcus and vancomycin-resistant enterococci. However, platelet toxicity greatly limits its clinical application. In recent years,significant progress has been acheived in studies of the pathogenesis and clinical risk factors of linezolid-induced thrombocytopenia(LIT). LZD has been found to be closely related to bone marrow suppression, inhibition of platelet release,oxidative stress and immune destruction to result in low platelet count.In addition,a large number of clinical studies had also summarized the risk factors of LIT,and explored the dose adjustment methods of LZD,which became the breakthrough of prevention and treatment for LIT.However,there are many different kinds of opinoins in these literatures.This article reviews the pathogenesis,risk factors,and dose adjustment of LIT,with a view to providing ideas for clinical prevention and treatment of LIT.

Key words: linezolid, thrombocytopenia, risk factors, dose adjustment
