Antibiotic Drug Concentration in Sweat

Keywords

antibiotic drug monitoring in sweat

Brief summary

The secretion of different kinds of antibiotic drugs in sweat is investigated. The concentration and pharmacodynamics of antibiotic drugs in sweat and blood will be compared.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTanalysis of last resort antibiotic drug (Flucloxacillin, Imipenem, Vancomycin or Cefepim) in sweat and blood

blood draw (4.7 ml EDTA) and sweat sample taken (Macroduct Sweat Collecting System)
