Prospective randomized study comparing different colistin dosing regimens in paediatric cancer patient with MDR gram-negative infection or sepsis
The aim of this study is to: 1. Evaluate the clinical outcome of two different dosing regimen of IV colistin in the treatment of children with multidrug resistant gram-negative infections or sepsis. 2. To estimate the frequency of colistin associated adverse effects. 3. To correlate the serum colistin concentration and MIC to microbiological clearance and clinical outcome
