We report the case of an 87-year-old woman with tuberculous pleurisy. She developed adverse effects in the form of thrombocytopenia and gastrointestinal hemorrhage with isoniazid, and thrombocytopenia with linezolid. Her treatment was switched to contezolid plus cycloserine for a 4-week antibiotic duration, with a favorable outcome.
