Summary
Ceftaroline fosamil is an intravenous (IV) drug that belongs to a group of antibiotics called
cephalosporins . Antibiotics are drugs used to treat infections. Clinical studies in adults
patient shave shown ceftaroline fosamil to be effective against many bacteria that are
resistant to other currently approved antibiotics. Some of these bacteria may be responsible
for infections in the central nervous system.The main aim of this study is to gather
information to determine how much of a single IV dose of ceftaroline fosamil will enter into
a child's CSF so that the benefit of giving ceftaroline fosamil to children with infections
can be better determined.
