[ 1 ] - A Prospective Study to Assess Vancomycin Serum Concentrations in Pediatric Patients with Current Dosing Guidelines

Concerns about increasing bacterial resistance to vancomycin, have caused the adult treatment guidelines to recommend higher trough concentrations based on the type and location of infectious disease. Although these recommendations are not specific to children, the values can be extrapolated. This prospective study was designed to evaluate efficacy of current vancomycin dosing recommendations t...
