Enterococcus faecalis infective endocarditis: a pilot study of the relationship between duration of gentamicin treatment and outcome
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Because of the nephrotoxic effects of aminoglycosides, the Danish guidelines on infective endocarditis were changed in January 2007, reducing gentamicin treatment in enterococcal infective endocarditis from 4 to 6 weeks to only 2 weeks. In this pilot study, we compare outcomes in patients with Enterococcus faecalis infective endocarditis treated in the years before and after endorsement of these new recommendations.
