Resumen

LOPEZ LUZARDO, Michelle et al. Manejo intrahospitalario: Infección urinaria en el recién nacido. Arch Venez Puer Ped [online]. 2011, vol.74, n.1, pp.34-40. ISSN 0004-0649.

The decision to hospitalize a child with urinary tract infection should not rely exclusively on the diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis, for recent studies have demonstrated that ambulatory treatment with oral antibiotics is safe and efficient in patients with good general status and no history of urological abnormalities. For this reason, the decision to admit the patient should be based on the assessment of clinical conditions and the estimated risk of general complications. This review evaluates the efficiency and safety of antibiotics employed in children with acute pyelonephritis who require hospitalization, specifies the appropriate antibiotics, as well as the route and length of the treatment. Particular aspects of urinary tract infection in the newborn due to the special characteristics of the immune system at this age are also reviewed.

Palabras clave : urinary tract infection; hospitalization criteria; intravenous antibiotics; newborn.
