Cystatin C-guided vancomycin (VCM) dosing is useful in critically ill patients. Its usefulness in septic patients with
bacterial meningitis
remains unknown, as there are no published reports. In this study, we sought to clarify its benefit. Cystatin C was used to guide VCM dosing in a septic
bacterial meningitis
patient with normal kidney function, according to therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). Using
cystatin C
, the Bayesian method-based TDM made optimal VCM dosing possible, and decreased the predicted error (4.85 mg/L) compared to serum creatinine (16.83 mg/L). We concluded TDM of VCM using
cystatin C
can be considered in sepsis patients with
bacterial meningitis
with normal kidney function.
