NCT03643497

Brief Summary

This study is based on the hypothesis that the pharmacokinetics of meropenem and linezolid in severe infectious children are different from mild infectious children and adults. The investigators aim to study the population pharmacokinetics of children receiving the meropenem and linezolid for treatment of severe infectious diseases. In this study, the investigators will detect drug concentration in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid by using residual blood samples of blood and cerebrospinal fluid gas analysis and other clinical tests and employ computers for constructing population pharmacokinetic models. In addition, the investigators also want to correlate use of meropenem and linezolid with treatment effectiveness and incidence of adverse effects in children. This novel knowledge will allow better and more rational approaches to the treatment of severe infectious diseases in children. It will also set the foundation for further studies to improve anti- infective drug therapies for severe infectious children.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • maximum concentration (Cmax)

    Cmax is a term used in pharmacokinetics refers to the maximum (or peak) serum concentration that a drug achieves in a specified compartment or test area of the body after the drug has been administrated and before the administration of a second dose

    up to 4 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • time to achieve maximum concentration (Tmax)

    up to 4 weeks

  • absorption rate constant (ka)

    up to 4 weeks

  • elimination rate constant (kel)

    up to 4 weeks

  • half-life (t1/2)

    up to 4 weeks

Study Arms (1)

Children with the usage of anti-infective drugs

Children received meropenem or linezolid monotherapy in the treatment of seven infectious diseases

Drug: anti-infective drugs

Interventions

According to the models of population pharmacokinetics, the investigators and want to correlate use of antibiotics with treatment effectiveness and safety in children

Also known as: meropenem, linezolid
Children with the usage of anti-infective drugs

Study Population

Severe infectious children with anti-infectious therapies

You may qualify if:

  • Children (0-18 years old) with anti-infective therapy against severe infectious diseases.
  • The anti-infective therapy includes meropenem and linezolid commonly used in children with infectious diseases,
  • Children severe infectious diseases include severe pneumonia, sepsis, purulent meningitis and other diseases with severe infection.
