Abstract: We examined clinical outcomes for 53 young infants (<3 months of age) treated with outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy after discharge from a freestanding children's hospital. None of the patients experienced treatment failure or disease progression; 9% of them experienced a catheter-related complication, but this percentage is not different than that for older children.
