Posaconazole Plasma Monitoring in Immunocompromised Children.

Abstract:

:Plasma posaconazole exposure was assessed in 13 children who underwent a hematopoietic stem cell transplant. The median dosage was 12.5 mg/kg per day, divided into 3 doses. Of these 13 patients, 46.2% (6) and 30.8% (4) achieved concentrations higher than 0.7 and 1.25 mg/L, respectively. In children at high risk, a higher dosage might be needed to achieve target concentrations.
