Claforan or Rocephin IV and Erythromycin to cover atypicals.

For more serious illness... like in CF.. Piperacillin with Tobramycin.

Or Ceftazidime IV with Aminoglycoside.

For MRSA, add Vanco..

And a consult from clinical dietician to feed the child.

Ceftazidime IV

Ceftazidime IV has the oh-so-aromatic odor of cat pee.

Ceftazidime IV has the oh-so-aromatic odor of cat pee.

Most Cephalosporins smell awful. Beta-Lactam ring is probably the culprit.
Ceftazidime seems to have the worst odor..cuz it emits gas as it's reconstituted.

You go around and sniff cat pee?
