[Leica] color blind...

[kididdoc at cox.net (Steve Barbour)]

hi Greg, a fascinating question, yours... 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
