Abstract:

We report the effects of linezolid in patient with muscle-invasive bladder cancer who underwent neobladder surgery. He took Tosufloxacin tosylate 150 mg tablet TID for one week when he was diagnosed with a bladder infection. His WBC levels did not decrease significantly after 1 week of Tosufloxacin tosylate administration. Therefore, he took the medicine for another week. A week later, he checked his bacteriological condition through his urine, and his urine still had more than 103 cfu / mL of bacteria. Thus, tosufloxacin was considered to be at risk for resistance to the patient. His medication was replaced by linozolid 600 mg tablet BID. After one week of administration of linezolid, urine was checked to see the bacterial cells. Finally the bacterial cells showed significant decrease and returned to normal range.
