Abstract：One 83-year-old female patient was admitted mainly because of repetitive cough and expectoration for 60 years which was aggravated for 10 days. The patient was treated with ceftazidime (2 g, bid, ivgtt) combined with levolfoxacin (0.5 g, qd, ivgtt) after admission. On the iffth day after admission, the patient had no improvement. Meanwhile,Pseudomonas aeruginosa was detected by the bacterial culture of sputum. Then we changed ceftazidime to meropenem. During the treatment, clinical pharmacists gave advice on adjusting the dose of antibacterials according to PK/PD and clinical treatment guidelines, especially for the dosage adjustment of meropenem. After anti-infection and symptomatic treatment, the patient recovered and discharged from hospital.
