    AbstractOutpatient parenteral antibiotic therapy (OPAT) is less threatening to children than in-hospital treatment and most likely reduces the risk of nosocomial infection. Most pediatric infections can be treated in the home if patients are medically stable, parents are motivated to help with therapy, and appropriate resources, such as skilled pediatric nursing, are available. The cost of pediatric OPAT is similar to that of adult OPAT.
