Abstract
BACKGROUND: Fluconazole is frequently prescribed for the treatment of systemic fungal infection in neonates and infants. At present, prediction of fluconazole doses according to developmental changes in fluconazole clearance is not being done in these patients. We aimed to formulate a developmental model of fluconazole clearance taking into account the ontogeny of renal function, since the drug is largely eliminated renally.
METHODS: We systematically retrieved the data of fluconazole pharmacokinetics and renal function in children and adults from databases (MEDLINE and Japan Medical Abstracts Society). Datasets were retrieved from individual children or groups from 9 studies comprising 55 neonates or infants at postmenstrual age (PMA) 27-58 weeks. Datasets were retrieved from 5 studies comprising 60 children and from 13 studies comprising 152 adults. Datasets of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) for individual pediatric subjects were retrieved from 4 studies comprising 187 neonates or infants.
RESULTS: Fluconazole clearance normalized to body surface area (BSA) (CL
CONCLUSIONS: The present study indicates that fluconazole doses for neonates and infants may be predicted from developmental change of systemic clearance, the ontogeny of which parallels the maturation of nephron function.
