Dalbavancin for Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections in Pediatrics: Insights from Continuation Therapy Experience.
Antibiotics 2024 April 5
Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections (ABSSSI) are marked by substantial morbidity, frequent need for hospitalization, and long courses of intravenous antibiotic therapy. Herein, we report four cases of pediatric patients admitted for ABSSSI and managed with a combination antibiotic regimen incorporating dalbavancin: a second-generation lipoglycopeptide active against Gram-positive bacteria, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus . In our experience, particularly in a setting with a high methicillin-resistance rate, dalbavancin demonstrated safety and efficacy, simplifying ABSSSI management in childhood. Its prolonged half-life enables a single-dose administration regimen, offering potential solutions to numerous challenges encountered in pediatric care, such as extended hospital stays, difficulties in securing and maintaining vascular access, lack of pediatric-specific drug indications, and limited availability of suitable oral formulations.
