Abstract EN

Recent pharmacokinetic studies have suggested that nonrenal clearance predominates the elimination of polymyxin B.

We present 2 patients with preexisting end stage renal failure, who were given nonattenuated doses of polymyxin B for the treatment of extreme-drug resistant organism.

No evidence of adverse events occurred and microbiological clearance was documented.
