“…The increasing complexity of providing health care has resulted in the development of the HHP which allows for intravenous administration of wide range of antibiotics in the patient’s home. The scientific basis for this new health care modality is supported by the latest pharmacodynamic knowledge regarding different antibiotics (18,19) and the development of new pharmaceutical formulas (20) allowing drug administration in one daily dose or the use of continuous or pulsatile perfusion pumps (21). Furthermore, the widespread use of home‐based antibiotic treatment and the knowledge of its safety in a large variety of infectious diseases (22) have prompted the creation of world reference therapeutic guidelines like those compiled by the American Society of Infectious Diseases (23).…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
