The use of dried blood spots (DBS) has gained interest in the field of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) due to its potential advantages, such as minimally invasive capillary blood collection, potential stabilization of drugs and metabolites at room or high temperatures, and lower biohazard, allowing for inexpensive storage and transportation.

The importance of antibiotic treatment for sepsis in critically ill septic patients is well established. Consistently achieving the dose of antibiotics required to optimally kill bacteria, minimize the development of resistance, and avoid toxicity is challenging. The increasing understanding of the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) characteristics of antibiotics, and the effects of critical illness on key PK/PD parameters, is gradually re-shaping how antibiotics are dosed in critically ill patients.

Medicine use in children with cystic fibrosis (CF) is complicated by inconsistent pharmacokinetics at variance with the general population, a lack of research into this and its effects on clinical outcomes. In the absence of established dose regimens, therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is a clinically relevant tool to optimize drug exposure and maximize therapeutic effect by the bedside. In clinical practice though, use of this is variable and limited by a lack of expert recommendations.

Infants and immunocompromised children with cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection have significant morbidity and mortality. Ganciclovir (GCV) and its oral prodrug valganciclovir (VGCV) are the major antiviral options of choice for the prophylaxis and treatment of CMV infection.

Pegylated form of E. coli derived asparaginase (PEG) is a crucial component of pediatric ALL therapy. Patients who develop a hypersensitivity (HSR) reaction with PEG receive an alternative form – Erwinia asparaginase (EA). However, an international shortage in 2017 had made it challenging to treat these patients. We have developed a comprehensive strategy to address this need.
