Multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa is of increasing concern in pediatric patients. Ceftolozane/tazobactam is a novel cephalosporin/β-lactamase inhibitor combination with activity against multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas; however, no data exist on its use in children. This report summarizes the treatment of a multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa bloodstream infection in a pediatric leukemia patient with ceftolozane/tazobactam and provides the first description of its pharmacokinetics in pediatrics.
多重耐药铜绿假单胞菌在儿科患者中越来越受到关注。头孢洛扎/他唑巴坦是一种新型头孢菌素/β-内酰胺酶抑制剂组合,对多重耐药铜绿假单胞菌具有活性;然而,尚无其在儿童中使用的数据。本报告总结了一名儿科白血病患者使用头孢洛扎/他唑巴坦治疗多重耐药铜绿假单胞菌血流感染的情况,并首次描述了其在儿科患者中的药代动力学。
