Abstract | Introduction: Vancomycin-resistant Case presentation: A 67-year-old male with end-stage liver failure underwent liver transplantation complicated by VRE bacteraemia and subsequently developed VRE meningitis while on high-dose daptomycin therapy (12 mg/kg/day). Due to clinical and microbiological failure with daptomycin, he was switched to linezolid and symptoms resolved rapidly. He completed 2 weeks of linezolid, fully recovered, and continued to do well without complications at the 5 month follow-up. Conclusions: This case highlights the severity of VRE infections in solid organ transplant recipients and raises concerns about daptomycin penetration into the CNS. Linezolid could be considered the preferred treatment for VRE CNS infections rather than high-dose daptomycin. |
