Article Synopsis
- Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a leading cause of hospitalization in children, with an increasing presence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing bacteria.
- A study was conducted analyzing medical records of hospitalized children from 2014 to 2017 to identify risk factors and treatment outcomes for those with ESBL-UTI versus non-ESBL UTIs.
- Key risk factors for ESBL-UTI identified were previous UTIs, recent antibiotic use, urinary abnormalities, past hospitalizations, and certain health issues, with patients typically needing longer treatment and hospitalization.
