We reviewed our experience with meropenem in the treatment of severe melioidosis in 63 patients over a 6-year period. Outcomes were similar to those of ceftazidime-treated patients (n 153) despite a deliberate selection bias to more-unwell patients receiving meropenem. The mortality among meropenemtreated patients was 19%. One patient had a possible drug fever associated with the use of meropenem. We conclude that meropenem (1 g or 25 mg/kg every 8 h intravenously for >14 days) is an alternative to ceftazidime and imipenem in the treatment of melioidosis. The use of meropenem may be associated with improved outcomes in patients with severe sepsis associated with melioidosis.Item Cryptococcus infection in tropical Australia(2004) Fisher, Dale; Jenney, A; Pandithage, K; Currie, Bart John
