Rissardo JP, Caprara ALF. Fluoroquinolone-Associated Movement Disorder: A Literature Review. MEDICINES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 10:33. [PMID: 37367728 DOI: 10.3390/medicines10060033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2022] [Revised: 05/04/2023] [Accepted: 05/23/2023] [Indexed: 06/28/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Fluoroquinolones (FQNs) are related to several central nervous system side effects. This review aims to evaluate the clinical-epidemiological profile, pathophysiological mechanisms, and management of FQNs-associated movement disorders (MDs). METHODS Two reviewers identified and assessed relevant reports in six databases without language restriction between 1988 and 2022. RESULTS A total of 45 reports containing 51 cases who developed MDs secondary to FQNs were reported. The MDs included 25 myoclonus, 13 dyskinesias, 7 dystonias, 2 cerebellar syndromes, 1 ataxia, 1 tic, and 2 undefined cases. The FQNs reported were ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, gatifloxacin, moxifloxacin, levofloxacin, gemifloxacin, and pefloxacin. The mean and median age were 64.54 (SD: 15.45) and 67 years (range: 25-87 years). The predominant sex was male (54.16%). The mean and median time of MD onset were 6.02 (SD: 10.87) and 3 days (range: 1-68 days). The mean and median recovery time after MD treatment was 5.71 (SD: 9.01) and 3 days (range: 1-56 days). A complete recovery was achieved within one week of drug withdrawal in 80.95% of the patients. Overall, 95.83% of the individuals fully recovered after management. CONCLUSIONS Future cases need to describe the long-term follow-up of the individuals. Additionally, FQN-induced myoclonus should include electrodiagnostic studies.

Ramatillah DL, Michael M, Khan K, Natasya N, Sinaga E, Hartuti S, Fajriani N, Farrukh MJ, Gan SH. Factors Contributing to Chronic Kidney Disease following COVID-19 Diagnosis in Pre-Vaccinated Hospitalized Patients. Vaccines (Basel) 2023; 11:433. [PMID: 36851310 PMCID: PMC9966430 DOI: 10.3390/vaccines11020433] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2022] [Revised: 02/06/2023] [Accepted: 02/11/2023] [Indexed: 02/16/2023] Open
Abstract
In this study, we aim to evaluate the factors that may contribute to the development of chronic kidney disease following COVID-19 infection among hospitalized patients in two private hospitals in Jakarta, Indonesia. This is a retrospective cohort study between March 2020 and September 2021. Patient selection was conducted with a convenience sampling. All patients (n = 378) meeting the inclusion criteria during the study period were enrolled. Various sociodemographic, laboratory test, and diagnostic parameters were measured before the determination of their correlation with the outcome of COVID-19 infection. In this study, all pre-vaccinated patients with COVID-19 had no history of chronic kidney disease (CKD) prior to hospital admission. From this number, approximately 75.7% of the patients developed CKD following COVID-19 diagnosis. Overall, significant correlations were established between the clinical outcome and the CKD status (p = 0.001). Interestingly, there was a significant correlation between serum creatinine level, glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and CKD (p < 0.0001). Oxygen saturation (p = 0.03), admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) (p < 0.0001), and sepsis (p = 0.005) were factors that were significantly correlated with CKD status. Additionally, the type of antibiotic agent used was significantly correlated with CKD (p = 0.011). While 82.1% of patients with CKD survived, the survival rate worsened if the patients had complications from hyperuricemia (p = 0.010). The patients who received levofloxacin and ceftriaxone had the highest (100%) survival rate after approximately 50 days of treatment. The patients who received the antiviral agent combination isoprinosine + oseltamivir + ivermectin fared better (100%) as compared to those who received isoprinosine + favipiravir (8%). Factors, such as hyperuricemia and the antibiotic agent used, contributed to CKD following COVID-19 hospitalization. Interestingly, the patients who received levofloxacin + ceftriaxone and the patients without sepsis fared the best. Overall, patients who develop CKD following COVID-19 hospitalization have a low survival rate.

[PMID: 36253925 PMCID: PMC9804084 DOI: 10.1111/cns.13989] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2022] [Revised: 09/07/2022] [Accepted: 09/21/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
AIMS The aim of this study was to assess the influence of the major transporters at blood-brain barrier and blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier on levofloxacin (LVFX) pharmacokinetics in rat. To explore the different effects of transporters on drug concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and brain extracellular fluid (ECF). METHODS High-performance liquid chromatography coupled with microdialysis was used to continuously and synchronously measure unbound concentrations of LVFX in rat blood, hippocampal ECF, and lateral ventricle CSF for comprehensive characterization of brain pharmacokinetics. The role of transporters in the brain efflux mechanism of LVFX was analyzed in the absence and presence of various transporter inhibitors. RESULTS Following LVFX (50 mg/kg) administration, the unbound partition coefficient of LVFX in brain ECF and CSF (Kp,uu,ECF and Kp,uu,CSF ) were 34.0 ± 1.7% and 41.2 ± 2.4%, respectively. When probenecid was coadministered with LVFX, the AUC and the mean residence time (MRT) in rat blood increased significantly (p < 0.05). After MK571 intervention, 1.35-fold and 1.16-fold increases in Kp,uu,ECF and Kp,uu,CSF were observed, respectively (p < 0.05). Treatment with Ko143 increased the levels of LVFX in brain ECF. The difference in LVFX concentration in brain ECF and CSF was <3-fold with or without treatment with transporter inhibitors. CONCLUSION Efflux of LVFX from the central nervous system (CNS) involves multidrug resistance-associated proteins (MRPs), breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), and organic anion transporters (OATs). MRPs play an important role in mediating the brain/CSF-to-blood efflux of LVFX. LVFX concentrations in CSF can be used as a surrogate to predict the concentrations inside brain parenchyma.

[PMID: 34946536 PMCID: PMC8708917 DOI: 10.3390/molecules26247456] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2021] [Revised: 12/05/2021] [Accepted: 12/07/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Antibiotics as antibacterial drugs have saved many lives, but have also become a victim of their own success. Their widespread abuse reduces their anti-infective effectiveness and causes the development of bacterial resistance. Moreover, irrational antibiotic therapy contributes to gastrointestinal dysbiosis, that increases the risk of the development of many diseases, including neurological and psychiatric. One of the potential options for restoring homeostasis is the use of oral antibiotics that are poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract (e.g., rifaximin alfa). Thus, antibiotic therapy may exert neurological or psychiatric adverse drug reactions which are often considered to be overlooked and undervalued issues. Drug-induced neurotoxicity is mostly observed after beta-lactams and quinolones. Penicillin may produce a wide range of neurological dysfunctions, including encephalopathy, behavioral changes, myoclonus or seizures. Their pathomechanism results from the disturbances of gamma-aminobutyric acid-GABA transmission (due to the molecular similarities between the structure of the β-lactam ring and GABA molecule) and impairment of the functioning of benzodiazepine receptors (BZD). However, on the other hand, antibiotics have also been studied for their neuroprotective properties in the treatment of neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory processes (e.g., Alzheimer's or Parkinson's diseases). Antibiotics may, therefore, become promising elements of multi-targeted therapy for these entities.

Abstract
We described ceftriaxone-induced CNS adverse events through the largest case series of Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) reports, from 1995 to 2017, using the French Pharmacovigilance Database. In total, 152 cases of serious CNS ADRs were analyzed; 112 patients were hospitalized or had a prolonged hospitalization (73.7%), 12 dead (7.9%) and 16 exhibited life-threatening ADRs (10.5%). The median age was 74.5 years, mainly women (55.3%), with a median creatinine clearance of 35 mL/min. Patients mainly exhibited convulsions, status epilepticus, myoclonia (n = 75, 49.3%), encephalopathy (n = 45, 29.6%), confused state (n = 34, 22.4%) and hallucinations (n = 16, 10.5%). The median time of onset was 4 days, and the median duration was 4.5 days. The mean daily dose was 1.7 g mainly through an intravenous route (n = 106, 69.7%), and three patients received doses above maximal dose of Summary of Product Characteristics. Ceftriaxone plasma concentrations were recorded for 19 patients (12.5%), and 8 were above the toxicity threshold. Electroencephalograms (EEG) performed for 32.9% of the patients (n = 50) were abnormal for 74% (n = 37). We described the world's biggest case series of ceftriaxone-induced serious CNS ADRs. Explorations (plasma concentrations, EEG) are contributive to confirm the ceftriaxone toxicity-induced. Clinicians may be cautious with the use of ceftriaxone, especially in the older age or renal impairment population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was designed to analyze the clinical efficacy of ceftazidime combined with levofloxacin on heart failure complicated with pulmonary infection and its influence on cardiopulmonary function. METHODS A total of 124 patients with heart failure and pulmonary infection admitted to our hospital from June 2018 to October 2019 were divided into groups according to different treatment schemes. Thereinto, 60 patients who were given ceftazidime intravenous drip on the basis of routine treatment were included in group A, and 64 who were given levofloxacin hydrochloride injection based on intravenous drip in group A were included in group B. The clinical efficacy, cardiac and lung function, pathogenic bacteria, infection, immune indexes and adverse reactions before and after treatment were compared. RESULTS After treatment, the adjusted levels of LVEF, LVEDD and LA in group B after treatment were greater than those in group A (P<0.05); the levels of MMV, TLC and FEV1 in group B were increased more than those in group A (P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of BNP, PCT and CRP in groups A and B decreased compared with those before treatment (P<0.05). Furthermore, the down-regulated levels of BNP, PCT and CRP in group B were higher than those in group A after treatment (P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of serum CD3+, CD4+, CD4+/CD8+ in group B increased more and CD8+ decreased more. The clinical efficacy of group B after 7 days was higher than that of group A (P<0.01). Patients were followed up for one month, and there was no marked difference in their adverse drug reaction rates (P>0.05). CONCLUSION To sum up, ceftazidime combined with levofloxacin on patients with heart failure and pulmonary infection can improve the immune function while optimizing the clinical efficacy and cardiopulmonary function.
