title: [Monitoring of plasma concentrations of aminoglycosides].
abstract: Aminoglycosides are antibiotics commonly used in the management of a large number of gram- and gram+ infections but their use is limited by their potential nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity. At present, monitoring of plasma concentrations is the most reliable method for assuring adequate therapy with these antibiotics. The above paper was intended to show the importance of pharmacokinetic monitoring in order to guarantee therapeutic efficacy and control potential toxicity of aminoglycosides in a series of 90 patients.
