Ratio of exposures to chloramphenicol between children and adults. Solid line: original dose (50 mg kg⁻¹ day⁻¹). Dashed lined: dose adjustment to avoid grey baby syndrome (25 mg kg⁻¹ day⁻¹ for babies up to 1 month). Empirical scaling of the paediatric dose based on body weight has led to overexposure to chloramphenicol
