Vancomycin is already used for decades in neonates. However, there are remaining questions concerning vancomycin disposition in this population. The purpose of this study is first of all to perform a paired analysis of serum vancomycin concentrations using an immunoassay versus a reference liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method. Secondly, we aim to determine vancomycin protein binding and its covariates in neonates.
Neonates, admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit to whom vancomycin is administered for medical reasons, can be included in the study after informed consent of the parents.
