abstract: Two approaches to outpatient parenteral antibiotic therapy are commonly used in the emergency care setting. One is daily administration of a parenteral antibiotic followed by oral therapy if clinical response has been satisfactory. The other is administration of a single parenteral dose to initiate a course of oral therapy. Both treatment strategies have proved effective in preliminary studies.
