Giving antibiotic (1000mg) through a medline for 2 weeks to a 83 y/o male. He was hospitalized for sepsis, e. Coli, pneumonia. He is MDRO and has contracted MRSA. The infectious disease doctor (Indian) at the hospital said that he was going to be aggressive with his treatment. He is diabetic, HBP, prostate cancer and Congestive Heart Failure. He now has vertigo (thinks he's falling or that the room has tilted), vivid hallucinations (reaching for things not there/ seeing and talking to people), insomnia (talking all night long and unable to sleep during the day..2 minute catnap. Melatonin (10MG) and Unisom (COMBINED) do not work), swollen and cracked tongue, CANNOT WALK (thinking that he can)(he is an extremely high fall risk), slurred speech, cannot feed himself, cannot make it to the bathroom on time, agitation. He needs constant 24 hr supervision! He finished his treatment 2 days ago and continues to have negative effects. Babbling and zombie like. All bloodwork and urinalysis has come back negative, clear and all within normal ranges in recent bloodwork. I feel that this drug has exchanged his illnesses for disabilities therefore, diminishing his quality of life. He wasn't like this at all before taking Invanz.

I am using this medication in a 64 year old male on the advice of an infection control physician and after florquinilones, pen g and clindamycin failed a satisfactory response for a severe lung abscess in an emphysema patient. After six weeks of other treatments, this patient has showed very significant improvement after two IV administered doses.

I have a lung infection. Doctors are certain about it being mycobacteria, but are trying this first. Things have improved a little. Has anyone else used it for lung infections?
