Title
Short report: Consensus guidelines for dosing of amoxicillin-clavulanate in melioidosis
Abstract
Melioidosis is an infectious disease endemic to northern Australia and Southeast Asia. In response to clinical confusion regarding the appropriate dose of amoxicillin-clavulanate, we have developed guidelines for the appropriate dosing of this second-line agent. For eradication therapy for melioidosis, we recommend 20/5 mg/kg orally, three times daily. Copyright © 2008 by The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene.
