In accordance with the recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines for the use of vancomycin,1 we began uating the indications and dose of vancomycin IV used in our institution. We discovered a large amount of incorrect dosing of vancomycin in infants and children with 30 mg/kg/day (10 mg/kg q8h). This dose has been traced to The Harriet Lane Handbook, 13th edition.2 However, all the references listed in Harriet Lane on page 561 recommend the standard dosing of vancomycin, 40 mg/kg/day (10 mg/kg q6h).

We reviewed patient discharges with outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) to determine whether outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy was modifiable or unnecessary at a large tertiary care children’s hospital. At least one modification definitely or possibly would have been recommended for 78% of episodes. For more than 40% of episodes, outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy was potentially not indicated.Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2014;00(0):1–3
