Specializes in Neurology

Uti: A second generation cephalosporin like ceftum would be a little narrower spectrum that i would use in an ICU patient with a neurodegenerative condition in for sepsis. I assume since there for sepsis he is also on other antibiotics as well which would make the case better for ceftum.
