Penetration of Cefotaxime into Cerebrospinal Fluid in Neonates and Young Infants

Abstract: Cefotaxime is the first-line treatment for meningitis in neonates and young infants. However, limited data on cefotaxime cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations in neonates and young infants were available. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the penetration of cefotaxime into CSF in neonates and young infants. Blood and CSF samples were collected from neonates and young infants treated with cefotaxime using an opportunistic pharmacokinetic sampling strategy, and concentrations were quantified by hig… Show more

“…Platelets are produced in the bone marrow; therefore, we speculated that antibiotics with high cerebrospinal fluid transferability may show high expression rates of DITP before data mining. However, signals were not detected for antibiotics with high cerebrospinal fluid transferability, such as ceftriaxone 17 and cefotaxime, 18 whereas TEIC, 19 an antibiotic with poor cerebrospinal fluid transferability, was detected. Therefore, it may be difficult to explain the risk of developing DITP based on cerebrospinal fluid transferability.…”

“…An opportunistic sampling design was chosen to collect PK samples. Blood samples were obtained from the blood remaining after blood-gas or biochemical analyses (23,24). Infusion and sample times were recorded precisely.…”

“…As shown Table 1 Because neutrophils are produced in bone marrow, we speculated that antibiotics with high migration to bone marrow may have a high risk of inducing agranulocytosis before data mining. However, signals were not detected for antibiotics with high cerebrospinal fluid transferability, such as ceftriaxone [10] and cefotaxime [11], whereas teicoplanin [12], an antibiotic with poor cerebrospinal fluid transferability, was detected. Therefore, these findings suggested that the risk of agranulocytosis could not be clarified by analysis of migration to the bone marrow only.…”
