Overview

Retrospective analysis of antibiotic use in hospitalized children highlights the misuse of ceftriaxone and risk of resistance.

Key Points

  • Ceftriaxone was prescribed to 79% of pediatric patients despite confirmation of infection.
  • The study identified lower respiratory tract infections and sepsis as common among critically ill children.
  • A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted in a pediatric ward at Ayub Medical Complex.
  • These findings support the need for better antibiotic prescribing based on confirmed microbial identification.
