Infant 7 was on fluconazole per standard of care (12 mg/kg IV daily), and PK sampling occurred after the final (seventh) dose. All other multiple-dose data were obtained during the infants’ second dose.

T>MIC and AUC0–24 for infant 7 were obtained by simulating exposure after a dose of 25 mg/kg using clearance and volume of distribution derived from the 1-compartment model.

CL indicates clearance; V, volume of distribution; t1/2, half-life; T>MIC, percentage of the dosing interval that fluconazole concentration was above the minimum inhibitory concentration of 4 mg/L (PD target was 50% of dosing interval); AUC0–24,area under the curve from 0–24 hours (PD target 400 h*mg/L); IQR, interquartile range.
