Antibiotic duration and timing of the switch from intravenous to oral route for bacterial infections in children: systematic review and guidelines
2016, The Lancet Infectious DiseasesCitation Excerpt :After line removal for CVC infections with coagulase-negative staphylococci and Bacillus species, short intravenous courses (3–5 days and 5–7 days, respectively) are non-inferior than longer courses.29–31 Results from small series in immunocompetent and immunocompromised children showed that CVC-associated bacteraemia resolved with 7–21 days of intravenous antibiotics, but no studies have compared antibiotic durations with line removal or retention.32–36 A few studies of anti-infective locks have yielded mixed results, and larger studies are awaited.
