Abstract: Objective To explore the regularity and characteristics of daptomycin-induced adverse reactions, and to provide reference for clinical rational drug use. Methods Such databases as CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, and PubMed were searched for articles about daptomycin-induced ADR that had been published between January 1, 2004 and July 31, 2019. Data on conditions of patients, medications, occurrence of ADR and prognosis was statistically analyzed. Results A total of 29 articles involving 51 cases of daptomycin-induced ADR-eosinophilic pneumonia-were included in this study. In these cases, the ratio of males to females was 5.25∶1. Most of the ADR occurred among elderly patients, accounting for 54.91% (28/51). 27.45% (14/51) of these ADR occurred within one to two weeks of medication. The main clinical manifestations were eosinophilia, dyspnea and febrile. The risk factors of eosinophilic pneumonia in patients might be related to age and dosage rather than to gender, the ADR history and combination of drugs. Conclusion Daptomycin-induced ADR vary, which deserve the attention of clinicians, clinical pharmacists and nurses so as to improve the rational use of drugs, and ensure the safety of medication.
