Abstract
Ceftobiprole is a fifth-generation cephalosporin approved for the treatment of pneumonia, with a broad antibacterial spectrum, including potent activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus As for the other cephalosporins, high pharmacokinetic variability and concentration-dependent neurotoxicity are expected. We describe here the first simple and rapid analytical method intended for ceftobiprole serum concentration monitoring. We report the data of 5 patients treated with ceftobiprole, among who 2 developed reversible neurological disorders with high ceftobiprole serum concentration.Entities:
