Real-Time Therapeutic Drug Monitoring-Based Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Optimization of Complex Antimicrobial Therapy in a Critically Ill Morbidly Obese Patient. Grand Round/A Case Study
Abstract:
The authors present the case of a critically ill morbidly obese patient (body mass index, 51.2 kg/m2) who suffered from methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Candida albicans bloodstream infections. Initial treatment with caspofungin and daptomycin was deemed inappropriate, because blood cultures remained positive for both isolates after 14 days. The clinical pharmacological consultant suggested adding fluconazole and ceftobiprole to the ongoing antimicrobial therapy, and starting a real-time therapeutic drug monitoring program of daptomycin, ceftobiprole, and fluconazole, aimed at optimizing pl...
