Meropenem pharmacokinetics in children: series of cases

Daily doses of antibiotics recommended for children are based on studies in healthy adult volunteers, so this study aimed to describe the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic characteristics of meropenem in children and to verify whether plasma concentrations were within the range therapy. This is a ser...
