Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Assuming linear kinetics, the mean CSF concentrations of an antibacterial in steady state (CssCSF) can be estimated, when the area under the concentration-time curve in CSF after the first dose is known. For this purpose we propose the function CssCSF = AUCCSF.Anticipated dose/Dosing Interval. Applied dose. RESULTS: Together with the MIC and MBC of the causative pathogen, the estimate is of value in the choice of antibacterial drug and the dosing regimen in central nervous system infections.
