RESUMO
A patient developed congestive cardiomyopathy after a long-term course of oxacillin. When the drug was discontinued, cardiac function returned to normal. The summary of clinical findings strongly suggested a cause-and-effect relationship between the intake of oxacillin and the deterioration in myocardial contractility.
