Plasma Concentrations of Benzylpenicillin and Cloxacillin in Infective Endocarditis—With Special Reference to Delayed Hypersensitivity Reactions by Malin Hägglund, Ulrika Snygg-Martin, Lars Olaison, Michael Stofkoper, Bert Ove Larsson, Magnus Brink

“…Both centre and trough concentration exhibited substantial interpatient variation for the two antibiotics, while intra-patient variability between weeks 1 and 3 remained low for most patients. Kidney function could explain, at best, 54% of the variation, and a multiple regression model including kidney function, body mass index, age, and albumin explained up to 68% of the variation for benzylpenicillin. …”
