Abstract
Serum and biliary tract levels of gentamicin were determined in a large series of patients. In only 17.7% of subjects were therapeutic serum levels achieved, even though recommended doses of gentamicin were administered. Therapeutic bile gentamicin levels were reached in only some of the patients with therapeutic serum levels.
