Empirical Antibiotic Therapy

  • Although antibiotic therapy for subacute disease can be delayed till the result of blood culture, the rapid progression of acute cases necessitate the start of empirical treatment antibiotic therapy once the blood cultures have been collected.
  • Empirical therapy is needed for all likely pathogens, certain antibiotic agents, including aminoglycosides, is preferably avoided for its toxic effects.
  • Clinical course of infection beside the epidemiological features should be considered upon selecting empirical treatment regimen.

  • Dose: 12–18 million units I.V. daily in divided doses q. 4 hour for 4 weeks.

Penicillin G + Gentamicin

  • Dose: Penicillin G, 12–18 million units I.V. daily in divided doses q. 4 hour for 4 weeks plus gentamicin, 3 mg/kg I.M. or I.V. daily in divided doses q. 8 hour for 2 weeks (peak serum concentration should be ~ 3 µg/ml and trough concentrations < 1 µg/ml).

Ceftriaxone

  • Dose: 2 g I.V. daily as a single dose for 2 weeks.
