Optimal therapeutic approaches to pediatric CLABSI remain uncertain, including the utility of ALT. Prior reports of ALT use in children have been smaller in size and largely described hematology-oncology or hemodialysis populations. We describe trends in pediatric CLABSI, including efficacy among solid organ transplant recipients and children with short-gut syndrome. These data provide guidance on selecting CLABSI for optimal ALT use.
