[Determination of gentamycin levels in capillary blood].
Gentamycin serum levels were determined in capillary and venous blood samples of 37 children of different ages using the Immuno-Assay-Merckotest - EMIT. 97 specimens were compared with each other. Gentamycin concentrations in capillary blood were insignificantly lower than those determined in venous blood samples. There was no correlation between the hematocrit and the peak concentration of Gentamycin.
