Summary

This study looked at how the antibiotic ceftazidime works in critically ill children with severe burns. Because burns change how the body processes medicine, the usual dose might not be enough. Researchers took blood samples from 3 children to measure drug levels and see how well it fought infections. The goal was to find the best dose for each child, but the study was very small and only gathered data, not a new treatment.
