Re-Treatment With Ethambutol After Toxic Optic Neuropathy. Issue 1 (March 2017) - Bouffard, Marc A.
Abstract : Abstract: There are no data in the literature regarding the safety of re-treatment with ethambutol for recurrent mycobacterial infection after prior ethambutol-induced optic neuropathy. We describe a patient who developed optic neuropathy attributed to ethambutol, recovered fully after drug withdrawal, and tolerated a 14-month long re-treatment 10 years later without developing recurrent optic neuropathy.
