| Abstract | Aminoglycoside antibiotics have a damaging effect on the inner ear. Hearing loss and/or loss of vestibular function may significantly influence overall quality of life. Careful attention to drug selection, dose, monitoring and risk factors can minimize or even prevent ototoxic damage. Identifying ototoxicity in time makes the treatment and the rehabilitation of the damage more successful. | |
| Summary | Aminoglikozidni antibiotiki imajo škodljiv učinek na notranje uho. Okvara sluha in/ali vestibularne funkcije vpliva na kvaliteto življenja. Izbira zdravljenja ob pretehtanih dejavnikih tveganja in skrbnem spremljanju lahko zmanjša ali prepreči ototoksični učinek teh zdravil. Pravočasna prepoznava ototoksičnosti pripomore k uspešnejšemu zdravljenju okvare oziroma pravočasni rehabilitaciji. | |
