Monitoramento terapêutico de fluconazol com suporte farmacocinético em pacientes grandes queimados com internação prolongada para controle das infecções fúngicas

Abstract

The sepsis is a main cause of morbidity and mortality in burn patients, once pharmacokinetics of anti-infective drugs prescribed for the control of systemic infections are significantly altered in those patients. In addition, burn patients in the ICU, initially can present infections by community microbial and must receive different antimicrobials than those prescribed for sepsis. On the other hand, burn immunocompromized patients with prolonged staying in the ICU, re-incidence of sepsis and fungal infection requires an effective antifungal agent that must be associated to the antimicrobials prescription. The objective of the study was to therapeutic plasma monitoring of fluconazole largely prescribed to burn patients from the ICU with fungal infection, Pharmacokinetic modeling for dose adjustment and for the control of infection. Twelve burn inpatients with systemic fungal infections from the ICU Burns
