  • Title: [Chemotherapy treatment of infectious diseases in infancy and early childhood].
    Author: Vassella F, Pfenninger J.
    Journal: Schweiz Med Wochenschr; 1975 Mar 01; 105(9):263-6. PubMed ID: 1124384.
    Abstract:
    Some specific pediatric aspects of therapy with antibiotics and other chemotherapeutic agents (dosage based on age, body weight and body surface area) are discussed. In early infancy problems such as the "immaturity" of enzyme systems and excretion mechanisms must be considered. Tetracycline staining is discussed as an example of age-dependent vulnerability of organs. A selection of antibiotics suitable for use in ambulatory pediatrics is proposed.
