Note:
- Treatment of cellulitis in neonates usually requires hospitalization and parenteral therapy. Oral therapy is given for completion of the treatment when the patogen is unknown.
- Optimal dose should be based on determination of serum concentrations.
- The above antibiotic regimen is NOT for initial empirical treatment of infections involving the face.
- Dose alteration for renal insufficiency may be needed in case of cephalosporins.
- Clindamycin is an alternate therapy for patients at risk of severe hypersensitivity reaction to penicillins and cephalosporins.
- Doxycycline is NOT recommended for children <8 years of age.
- Studies have shown an increase in treatment failure with TMP-SMX compared to other agents for cellulitis in children, reflecting TMP-SMX less action against Group A streptococcus.[3]
