With most SAM treatment now being in the outpatient setting, broad-spectrum oral antibiotics for uncomplicated SAM continue to be recommended by WHO and UNICEF. For complicated SAM, intravenous therapy followed by oral therapy (including a prolonged course of an amino-glycoside) is recommended; however, the evidence base
There is no strong evidence to justify changing the current parenteral therapy guidelines for children admitted with complicated SAM, although they should be clarified to harmonise the dosage regimen of amoxicillin for the treatment of SAM to 40 mg/kg twice daily, and to continue parenteral antimicrobials beyond 2 days if indicated by the clinic...
