Cholarmphenicol ototoxicity

Abstract: A case of bilateral profound sensori-neural hearing loss following systemic administration of chloramphenicol is reported because of its rarity. The hearing loss was gradually progressive, involving one ear; and with a repeat course of the drug, the other ear too was involved. An idiosyncratic or allergic response to previous exposure to the drug may be the cause of the toxicity. One should be careful in prescribing the drug repeatedly; when this is done, the patient must be carefully observed for possible tox… Show more

“…Furthermore, inhibiting mitochondrial protein synthesis using chloramphenicol failed to elicit hair cell loss in our system, similar to an earlier study finding that chloramphenicol by itself is not ototoxic, but exacerbates the ototoxic effects of aminoglycosides (Hyde and Rubel, 1995). It needs to be noted, however, that chloramphenicol has occasionally been shown to cause hearing loss (Igbal and Srivatsav, 1984) and also caused hair cell death in zebrafish (Coffin et al, 2010). More detailed studies are needed to evaluate the contribution of mitochondrial and cytosolic translational inhibition in aminoglycoside ototoxicity.…”

“…Seven compounds were known ototoxins ( e.g ., neomycin, cisplatin), demonstrating proof-of-concept in our screening approach. The other 14 compounds were not identified ototoxins, although examination of the clinical literature revealed an occasional case report describing hearing loss in patients treated with a few of these drugs ( e.g ., chloramphenicol, estradiol valerate) 84,85. Two drugs, the anticholinergic compound propantheline bromine and the antiprotozoal pentamidine isethionate, were tested in vitro in cultures of mouse utricle (a vestibular end organ in the mammalian inner ear), and both compounds demonstrated ototoxicity in this mammalian model.…”
