Interactive teaching framework for common inpatient infectious syndromes. Start with the likely syndrome, then adjust for severity and resistance risk to choose a practical empiric regimen and duration plan.
Educational starting point for adult inpatient empiric therapy. Final choice still depends on allergy history, renal function, local antibiogram, prior cultures, source control, and ID or pharmacy input when needed.

Expected coverage graph
This is a simplified teaching graphic showing expected empiric spectrum by organism group, not organism-specific susceptibility.
Recommended next cultures, imaging, and diagnostics
Recommended PO options
Use oral step-down only when the patient is clinically improving, able to absorb PO therapy, and cultures or syndrome-level probabilities support narrowing.
