Abstract We are appreciative to Dr. Jouffroy and Pr. Vivien for their responses and insights, and we agree with their words about the controversial aspect timing to antibiotic administration. Nevertheless, we stand firmly that it is not just about the time of administration of antimicrobials, but the early recognition and the comprehensive approach to recognize the most severe patients.
