Open full text 4 citations

Abstract

Daptomycin is a bactericidal antibiotic used to treat methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant enterococcus (VRE). Eosinophilic pneumonia is an uncommon but significant adverse effect of daptomycin. We present two patients treated with daptomycin who subsequently developed eosinophilic pneumonia (EP).
