>Hi Duncan,

>The following even more recent meta-analysis paper might be of some interest:
Ferriols-Lisart and Alos-Alminana. Effectiveness and safety of once-daily
aminoglycosides: a meta-analysis. Am J Health-Syst Pharm.1996; 53:1141-50.

They reached the same conclusion as almost everybody who use ODA in clinical
practice - this dosing method may be more effective and less toxic than the
traditional multiple-daily dosing method. However, there is still
insufficient data particularly in immunocompromised (e.g., neutropenic) pts.

I hope this is useful.
