TL;DR: Linezolid is effective at achieving culture conversion among patients with treatment-refractory XDR pulmonary tuberculosis, but patients must be monitored carefully for adverse events.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported that linezolid is effective at achieving culture conversion among patients with treatment-resistant XDR pulmonary tuberculosis, but patients must be monitored carefully for adverse events.

TL;DR: High blood eosinophils, in combination with age and baseline lung function parameters, might be a possible biomarker for identification of COPD patients with favorable FEV1 improvement in response to ICS/LABA treatment.
