For a patient with post-caesarean peritonitis due to ESBL E. coli, how long should meropenem be continued after adequate source control?
By Tripdatabase.
Abstract
No direct evidence for the optimal duration of meropenem in post-caesarean peritonitis due to ESBL E. coli was identified. General guidelines suggest a short duration (around 4 days) for complicated intra-abdominal infections post source control, but individual cases may require careful consideration.
