Impact of Vancomycin Serum Trough Concentrations and Vancomycin AUC/MIC on Vancomycin Response, In-Hospital Outcomes and Acute Kidney Injury in Pediatric Staphylococcus aureus Pneumonia

BACKGROUND: Vancomycin AUC/MIC > 400 was initially shown to be beneficial in adults with staphylococcal pneumonia. Current practice guidelines recommend targeting serum vancomycin trough concentrations (VTC) of 15–20 µg/ml in adults with severe MRSA infection to approximate these AUC/MIC goals. S...
