متن کاملHow much vancomycin dose is enough for the MRSA infection in pediatric patients with various degrees of renal function?
Today, an increase in vancomycin dose has been proposed to ensure efficacy. However, the risk of nephrotoxicity will increase with the dose. This study was aimed at evaluating the dosage regimens of vancomycin in pediatric patients based on pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) and to optimize dosage individualization. Population pharmacokinetics analysis was performed on 155 Chinese childr...
