Toxicity after prolonged (more than four weeks) administration of intravenous colistin

Abstract: Background: The intravenous use of polymyxins has been considered to be associated with considerable nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity. For this reason, the systemic administration of polymyxins had been abandoned for about 20 years in most areas of the world. However, the problem of infections due to multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacteria such us Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumanniii has led to the re-use of polymyxins. Our objective was to study the toxicity of prolonged intravenous ad… Show more

“…In a majority of published studies, a statistically significant relationship has been observed between the duration and dosage of colistin and the development of AKI (10,17,19), although in some studies this relationship has not observed (20,21). A higher total daily dosage of CMS was found to be an independent risk factor for the development of AKI in our study.…”
