Incidence of serotonin syndrome in patients receiving tedizolid and concomitant serotonergic agents.

This study investigated the real-world incidence rate of serotonin syndrome in patients receiving tedizolid and concomitant serotonergic agents. A retrospective cohort of 479 adult patients was assessed between January 2015 and July 2023. Overall, a rare rate of 0.4% (2/479) of possible serotonin syndrome with tedizolid was identified. Given that concomitant serotonergic agents were commonly used, further study is warranted to determine causality.
