Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hearing loss can have a negative impact on communication, with significant vocational, educational, and social consequences. Drugs are one of the causes of hearing loss in children. OBJECTIVES The objective of our study was to describe drug-induced hearing loss in the pediatric population. METHODS Reports of hearing loss from 1985 to December 2019 in the pediatric population (< 18 years) were extracted from the French PharmacoVigilance Database (FPVD). We performed a retrospective and descriptive analysis of adverse drug reaction (ADR) reports. RESULTS A total of 70 ADR reports were identified among the 51,216 reports registered in the FPVD, 37 involving adolescents (12-17 years, 52.9%), 28 children (2-11 years, 40.0%), and 5 infants (28 days-23 months, 7.1%). Overall, 40 reports (57.1%) involved girls. A total of 56 reports (80.0%) were "serious." The most frequent hearing disorders were deafness (n = 31, 44.3%) and hypoacusis (n = 22, 31.4%). Suspected drugs (ATC 5th level) were amikacin (n = 11, 15.7%), cisplatin (n = 11, 15.7%), doxorubicin (n = 4, 5.7%), vincristine (n = 4, 5.7%), clarithromycin (n = 4, 5.7%), ceftriaxone (n = 3, 4.3%), isotretinoin (n = 3, 4.3%), and vancomycin (n = 3, 4.3%). CONCLUSIONS This study shows that about three out of four cases of drug-induced hearing loss in the pediatric population were "serious". It also underlines the under-reporting of these ADRs and the importance of strengthening hearing monitoring in children during and long after drug exposure.

Abstract
Systemic isotretinoin is commonly used for severe acne treatment. It has many side effects, one of these is about hearing system, which has rarely been reported, also previous studies reported contradictory results about systemic isotretinoin and its association with hearing system. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether systemic isotretinoin affected on the hearing system or not. The study included 32 acne vulgaris patients (64 ears) who treated with oral isotretinoin 0.5 mg/kg body weight for at least 4 months and audiometric tests including pure-tone, speech, bilateral acoustic reflexes, and tympanometric measurements were performed at baseline, in the first week, in the first month, and third month of treatment, and sixth month after treatment. Audiometric tests were performed for right and left ears separately. A significant difference was found in the pure-tone thresholds (before treatment, first week, first month, third month of treatment, and sixth month after treatment) for the both ears at 8000 Hz (P < .001) and a significant decrease in the sixth month post-treatment pure-tone thresholds compared to pre-treatment thresholds at 8000 Hz. Additionally, a statistically significant increase was observed in serum LDL and triglyceride levels in the third month of treatment and a significant decrease at the sixth month after treatment (P < .001). Systemic isotretinoin caused bilateral hearing threshold changes in acne patients during the therapy but the changes improved after discontinuation. Therefore, our findings may provide safety using for dermatologists about hearing effects of isotretinoin, which is quite effective on severe acne.

Assessment of auditory function and lipid levels in patients receiving oral isotretinoin (13- cis retinoid) therapy for acne vulgaris. Postepy Dermatol Alergol 2018; 37:360-363. [PMID: 32792876 PMCID: PMC7394152 DOI: 10.5114/ada.2018.79566] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2018] [Accepted: 10/28/2018] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Isotretinoin (13-cis retinoid) is a synthetic retinoid. It was approved by the FDA in 1982 for use of oral isotretinoin in severe acne. It is also used in moderate-severe acne that does not respond to conventional treatments. Isotretinoin is the only available drug that affects all stages of acne pathogenesis. Aim To prospectively investigate whether there is an effect of isotretinoin therapy on auditory function and, if so, to demonstrate its association with simultaneous blood lipid levels. Material and methods Thirty patients (60 ears) with acne vulgaris, who received 0.5 mg/kg of isotretinoin therapy, were included in the study. Distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) and pure tone audiometry tests were performed to evaluate auditory function at the beginning of the procedure and the 6th month of treatment. In addition, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), total cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density lipoproteins (HDL) and low-density lipoproteins (LDL) cholesterol levels were recorded. Results There was no statistically significant difference between pre-treatment and post-treatment mean pure tone audiometry threshold and DPOAE values; however, the increase in total blood cholesterol, triglyceride and LDL levels and the decrease in HDL levels were statistically significant. Conclusions According to our study findings, isotretinoin did not cause worsening of the bilateral hearing threshold, but increased blood lipid levels. There is no need for follow-up auditory functions in routine practice during therapy, but blood lipid levels should be monitored.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Different pharmacotherapies for sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) are interconnected in metabolic networks with molecular hubs. BACKGROUND Sensorineural hearing loss is the most common sensory deficit worldwide. Dozens of drugs have shown efficacy against SNHL in animal studies and a few in human studies. Analyzing metabolic networks that interconnect these drugs will point to and prioritize development of new pharmacotherapies for human SNHL. METHODS Drugs that have shown efficacy in treating mammalian SNHL were identified through PubMed literature searches. The drugs were analyzed using the metabolomic analysis and the "grow-tool function" in ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA). The top 3 most interconnected molecules and drugs (i.e., the hubs) within the generated networks were considered important targets for the treatment of SNHL. RESULTS A total of 70 drugs were investigated with IPA. The metabolomic analysis revealed 2 statistically significant networks (Networks 1 and 2). A network analysis using the "grow-tool function" generated one statistically significant network (Network 3). Hubs of these networks were as follows: P38 mitogen-activated protein kinases (P38 MAPK), p42/p44 MAP kinase (ERK1/2) and glutathione for Network 1; protein kinase B (Akt), nuclear factor kappa B (NFkB) and ERK for Network 2; and dexamethasone, tretinoin, and cyclosporin A for Network 3. CONCLUSION Metabolomic and network analysis of the existing pharmacotherapies for SNHL has pointed to and prioritized a number of potential novel targets for treatment of SNHL.

Abstract
Isotretinoin is the most effective treatment for severe acne, but there are several adverse effects associated with its use, some of them very exceptional (<1/10000). We report one case of hypoacusia and tinnitus in a 15-year-old boy treated with isotretinoin during 6 weeks, who quickly improved after isotretinoin withdrawal. Also, we comment other publications about hearing alterations in patients treated with isotretinoin and other retinoids.
