The growing evidence detailing the harmful effects of exposure to antibiotics has driven an urgency to evaluate recommendations in common pediatric infections regarding antibiotic course duration and route of administration. The past decade has produced strong evidence in support of many patients with uncomplicated common pediatric infections receiving shortened antibiotic durations and early conversion from intravenous to oral antibiotics. In this review, we offer guidance to providers in selection of duration and route of administration in a subset of common pediatric infections, including community-acquired pneumonia, osteomyelitis, and infections of the head and neck.

安全地少用抗生素：指导常见儿科感染的给药时间和给药途径的证据。


越来越多的证据详细说明接触抗生素的有害影响，迫切需要评估有关抗生素疗程持续时间和给药途径的常见儿科感染建议。过去十年提供了强有力的证据支持许多患有无并发症的常见儿科感染的患者接受了缩短的抗生素疗程以及从静脉注射抗生素早期转换为口服抗生素。在这篇综述中，我们为医疗服务提供者提供了针对常见儿科感染（包括社区获得性肺炎、骨髓炎和头颈部感染）的给药持续时间和给药途径选择的指导。 [小儿安。 2024;53(6):e229-e233.]。
