OBJECTIVE: To observe clinical efficacy and safety of linezolid sequential therapy for pediatric gram-positive coccus acute hematogenous osteomyelitis. METHODS: In retrospective study, 13 children with gram-positive coccus acute hematogenous osteomyelitis was collected as research subjects. They received surgery+antibiotics step-down therapy, i.g. linezolid sequential therapy 10 mg/kg orally, q8 h, after symptom relief, body temperature return to normal for 2 weeks and normal lab indexes for 3 times. Clinical efficacy, ADR and lab indexes were observed before and after treatment. RESULTS: Of 13 children, recovery rate of 11 receiving linezolid was 84.62%, no relapse was found in follow-up period; ESR, C-reaction protein, WBC and NEU% of all children returned to normal except one child suffered from low count of white cell. 3 children suffered from ADR with the incidence of ADR was 23.08%. CONCLUSIONS: Oral administration of linezolid is effective and safe for pediatric gram-positive coccus acute hematogenous osteomyelitis, improve lab index of children and can be utilized as sequential therapy plan in clinic.
