Substantiation of Antibacterial Therapy Tactics in Children with Acute Bacterial Obstructive Bronchitis

Abstract

The study presents the results of antibacterial monitoring in 217 infants, who are residents of Zaporizhzhia and Zaporizhzhia region, with acute obstructive bronchitis. It is found that in 53 % of cases, the causative agent of acute obstructive bronchitis was bacterial microflora, among which the leading places belonged to Streptococcus pneumoniae (43.5 %) and Haemophilus influenzae (33.0 %). The analysis of antibioticogram showed that these microorganisms had the greatest sensitivity to third-generation cephalosporins (100 %). According to the findings, the feasibility of using cefpodoxime proxetil as an initial antibacterial agent in the treatment of acute obstructive bronchitis in infants was proved.
