Purpose: Posaconazole is a broad-spectrum antifungal for treating and preventing invasive fungal infections (IFIs) in immunocompromised individuals, including children as young as 2 years. Available in delayed-release (DR) oral suspension, intravenous formulation, and older immediate-release (IR) formulation (off-label in younger children), dosing harmonization across age groups and formulations remains inconsistent. This inconsistency arises from the unique physiology of young children and posaconazole's pH-dependent absorption.

The patient was intubated, and mechanical ventilation was initiated because of severe respiratory failure.

Introduction: Patients with cerebral hemorrhage often require a tracheal intubation to protect the airway and maintain oxygenation. Due to the use of analgesic and sedative drugs during endotracheal intubation and the opening of the glottis may easily cause aspiration pneumonia. Ceftriaxone is a semi-synthetic third-generation cephalosporin with strong antimicrobial activity against most gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
