Özet
Aminoglycosides are effective agents in treatment of Gram-negative bacteria, however they exert serious side effects like neuromuscular blokage, nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity. Factors that affect the ototoxicity risk of gentamycine which is an aminoglycoside are dose of the drug, length of treatment period, genetic predisposition, age, usage of aminoglycosides before and other ototoxic drugs together. We determined sensorineural hearing loss after recurrent gentamycin usage in a patient who is 8 years old and wanted to emphasize that odiogram must be performed in such cases.
