Dosing voriconazole in an obese patient.
To the Editor—Despite increases in obesity, data to guide dosing of voriconazole in this population are lacking. We describe the dosing of intravenous voriconazole in an obese patient undergoing an allogeneic hematopoeitic cell transplant. A 30-year-old male underwent a matched unrelated donor allogeneic stem cell transplant (SCT) for the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia. On day 11 fol...
متن کاملAntimicrobial dosing in obese patients.

We reviewed the English-language literature on antimicrobial pharmacokinetics and dosing in obesity. Although there are many potential pharmacokinetic consequences of obesity, the actual effect on the pharmacokinetics and clinical efficacy of most antimicro...
متن کامل393Vancomycin Dosing in Obese Patients

We sought to evaluate the effect of this dosing strategy in obese patients with BMI ≥35. Methods. Retrospective cohort study of patients ≥18 years old with a BMI ≥35 hospitalized between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2013 with at least 3 doses of intra...
متن کاملDosing Ethambutol in Obese Patients
Deshpande et al. conclude that ethambutol (EMB) doses of 50 mg/kg of body weight twice a week would be the optimal clinical dose for the treatment of Mycobacterium avium (2). This was based on pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic studies using a hollow-fiber system model of intracellular M. avium, mimicking ethambutol human-like pharmacokinetics. This adds important information on the relationship b...
