AB Antimicrobials,  including  antibacterials,  antifungals,  and  antivirals,  have  significantly  improved  the  clinical  care  of  infected  patients  since  the  introduction  of  penicillin  in  the  1940s.  The  development  of  antimicrobial-resistant  strains  of  these  pathogens  has  continually  expanded  the  number  of  antimicrobials  necessary,  and  this  has  increased  the  overall  potential  for  toxicity  after  use.  Fortunately,  toxicity  due  to  acute  overdose  is  limited  and  chronic  therapeutic  doses  are  safe  in  the  majority  of  patients.
