CURRENT STRATEGIES OF ANTIBIOTIC THERAPY OF ACUTE RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS IN PEDIATRIC PRACTICE
Abstract
Resume. Acute respiratory pathology remains the leading cause of morbidity among the child population of the country. This review article highlights modern approaches to antibacterial therapy of infectious diseases of the respiratory tract in pediatric patients. Material and method. Analyz provedyon na osnobe obzora tekushchikh publication v bazax PubMed, Scopus i eLibrary za poslednie 10 let.Based on the analysis of modern scientific data, key factors influencing the choice of antibacterial drugs for respiratory infections are identified. Conclusion.The main reasons for the unjustified prescription of antibiotics in pediatrics include overdiagnosis by doctors, the desire to meet parental expectations, and the desire to accelerate the achievement of clinical improvement. Also, factors worsening the prognosis with irrational antibiotic therapy in pediatrics are identified.
