A Retrospective Study To Assess The Resistance Profile Among Pathogens Causing Urinary Tract Infection In Pediatric Population At A Tertiary Hospital
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2017, Vol 12, Issue 3
Abstract
Urinary tract infection is one among the most commonly diagnosed infection of childhood. Frequent unwanted unwarranted usage of antibiotics does more harm. Its important to know the sensitivity pattern in the community. Method: A total of 75 children were included in the study. Culture and sensitivity patterns were checked. Satististical analysis was done on frequency and mean. Results: More of females were found in the study. E.coli was the most common organism isolated. Culture and sensitivity test were done only for few patients. The most frequent empirical antibiotic used was ceftriaxone and cefixime. Interpretation And Conclusions: The high prevalence of drug resistance among UTI patients calls for continuous monitoring of the incidence of drug resistance for appropriate empiric selection of antibiotic therapy. Empirical treatment of UTIs should be relied on susceptibility patterns from local studies
