Discordance between antibiotic therapy and recurrent urinary tract infections in young children with thirdgeneration cephalosporin-resistant infections

Yusin Kim, Hyun A Lee, Gil Lee, Kyungseok Park, Ye Kyung Kim, Peong Gang Park

Background: Third-generation cephalosporins remain the empirical mainstay for pediatric urinary tract infections (UTIs) in Korea, yet the resistance rate now approaches 30%, thereby threatening treatment effectiveness.
Purpose: To determine whether completing a cephalosporin regimen, despite in vitro resistance, increases early UTI recurrence rates. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the cases of children aged <24 months with their first Gram-negative UTI admitted in...

Purpose

The prevalence of macrolide-resistant Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MRMP) has increased worldwide. The aim of this study was to estimate the proportion of MRMP in a tertiary hospital in Korea, and to find potential laboratory markers that could be used to predict the efficacy of macrolides in children with MRMP pneumonia.

Methods

A total of 95 patients with M. pneumoniae pneumonia were enrolled in...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2009;52(10):1147-1152. Published online October 15, 2009

Purpose : To characterize the pathogens and their antibiotic susceptibilities in more than 24-month-old children with urinary tract infection (UTI) and to study the Escherichia coli antimicrobial susceptibility trend. Methods : We retrospectively reviewed the record of more than 24-month-old children with UTI between January 2003 and December 2008. Positive results for 1 bacterial species with a colony count of...

Salmonellosis in children: Analysis of 72 Salmonella-positive culture cases during the last 10 years

Sung Hoon Noh, Ka Young Yu, Jung Soo Kim, Pyoung Han Hwang, Dae Sun Jo

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2009;52(7):791-797. Published online July 15, 2009

Purpose : We aimed to investigate the clinical manifestations of and antibiotic resistance in culture-proven childhood salmonellosis. Methods : Clinical manifestations and laboratory data of and antibiotic use in subjects with culture-proven childhood salmonellosis, who were treated at the Chonbuk National University Hospital between September 1998 and August 2008, were analyzed retrospectively. Patients with underlying diseases or concomitant illnesses were excluded. Results...
