Recent recommendations by the American Society of Health System Pharmacists and Infectious Disease Society of America have provided guidance regarding vancomycin dosing and monitoring in serious infections; however, trough monitoring for uncomplicated acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI) were not addressed. Vancomycin use appears to lead to a low incidence of acute kidney injury with short durations and a low trough goal. Nevertheless, clinical studies have found no difference in clinical outcomes for ABSSSI regardless of vancomycin level. Therefore, it can be posed whether trough monitoring is necessary in this patient population. The objective of this study was to determine if vancomycin treatment duration differs for patients with ABSSSI with a sub-therapeutic vancomycin trough (ST; <10 mg/L) compared with therapeutic trough (TT; ≥10 mg/L).
