I will tell you what I have found so far, and I'll share it with the LUG list... ethambutol, a drug which is part of multidrug TB therapy, can sometimes affect vision and especially color vision. this seems to be generally what is referred to, when we google... (I am not sure what the mechanism is...) I am also checking to see if any of the customary antibiotics that are used to treat bacterial sepsis, may also cause risk...though of this I don't know, but I'm further searching the medical literature...and if I find something I'll let you know. It's a provocative question... one that I have never seen investigated in questions of antibiotic toxicity, with the exception of the drug ethambutol... the LUG sure can be an amazing source of information, Steve
