Antimicrobial stewardship refers to the appropriate selection, dosing, route, and duration of antimicrobial therapy to optimize patient outcomes and minimize toxicity and the development of resistant pathogens. The optimal stewardship strategies in the pediatric immunocompromised host are not well defined. In this chapter, we review the goals of antimicrobial stewardship in the immunocompromised host, discuss barriers to implementation, and offer specific stewardship strategies that may be useful in this population.
