Der Nutzen einer Langzeitinfektionsprophylaxe hinsichtlich der Rezidivhäufigkeit und insbesondere der Ausbildung pyelonephritischer Parenchymschäden in definierten Patientenkollektiven ist jedoch wissenschaftlich noch nicht hinreichend belegt.

Eight studies (618 children) were identified, five (406) comparing antibiotics with placebo/no treatment. This study examines the risk factors that predispose to recurrent UTI in children and the role of recurrent UTI in renal scarring.

Eligible patients were 1:1 randomized to receive either SXT or 2GC for the initial 6-month period (1 course), then switched to the other antimicrobial agent class for the subsequent course, with switching continuing after each course until the end of the study.

β-Lactamase producing Haemophilus influenzae strains were detected at a rate of 14.6%, which is a slightly higher percentage than that found in previous reports.

A 1-page questionnaire addressing various aspects of reflux management, including screening, diagnosis, treatment and followup, was mailed to a cohort of 225 practicing urologists identified by the membership roster of the American Academy of Pediatrics, Section on Pediatric Urology.

There was no consistency in occurrence of adverse events, with one study having more events in the placebo group and a second study having more events in the antibiotics group. The basic aim of antibiotic prophylaxis in children with malformative uropathy and/or recurrent UTIs, is to reduce the frequency of UTIs. A total of 75 studies from 19 sites were reviewed.
One hundred and twenty women, aged between 18 and 90 years, with a history of at least four episodes of symptomatic urinary tract infection in the preceding 12 months, were randomized in an open, prospective study to prophylactic treatment with cefaclor 250 mg at bedtime or macrocrystalline nitrofurantoin 50 mg at bedtime for 12 months. A pilot study was required from all clinical centers before enrolling patients.

Out of these 9 infants, 5 (55.5%) had antenatal RPD ≥15 mm.

In countries where neonatal circumcision is routinely performed, no clinical problem exists with regard to using it as a treatment for VUR. The extent of decreased susceptibilities was also severe for prophylaxis with a sequence of different antibiotics. Data from published, randomized controlled trials do not support antimicrobial prophylaxis to prevent febrile UTI when vesicoureteral reflux is found through voiding cystourethrography.

The 22 patients assessable for efficacy who had a non-obstructive radiological abnormality responded as well to prophylaxis as those with no detectable abnormality. Springer These results suggest that cefaclor can be an alternative choice for prophylactic treatment because of its safety, good compliance and low rates of resistant Escherichia coli.... [4,5,9,15] Males were overwhelmingly dominant (80%) in the one study from Japan.

DMSA-Scan is the gold standard for detecting renal scars or pyelonephritic damage. The duration of antibiotic prophylaxis treatment varied from 10 weeks to 12 months. Discrepancies in vesicoureteral reflux grade level were noted on the left and right side in 11 (15%, kappa 0.85) and 12 (16%, kappa 0.83) ureters, respectively.

Acute pyelonephritis is a common disorder of infancy and early childhood which is easily overlooked. 2009 Jul;24(7):1431-2. doi: 10.1007/s00467-009-1161-6.

per dose 125 mg), dose to be taken at night. Cohorts with larger numbers of uncircumcised boys had more breakthrough UTI's. Prescribing cefaclor in the absence of a proven or strongly suspected bacterial infection or a prophylactic indication is unlikely to provide benefit to the patient and increase the risk of the development of drug-resistant bacteria. In terms of medical interventions, options include either follow‐up observation in the hope of possible spontaneous resolution of vesicoureteral reflux with growth/development or provision of continuous antibiotic prophylaxis based on patient characteristics (age, presence/absence of febrile urinary tract infection, lower urinary tract dysfunction and constipation).



Basically, pediatric radiologists are responsible Sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim (SMX/TMP) and nitrofurantoin are the most frequently used agents for prophylaxis to reduce the risk of recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children with vesicoureteral reflux (VUR).
