Antibiotics for the Prevention of Infection in ChildrenThe aim of this work, carried out by members of the Military Medical University Shanghai, was to assess, through rigorous scientific study (meta-analysis of randomized and controlled studies), effectiveness and safety of the use of specific antibiotics to prevent long term repeat urinary tract infections (UTI recurrent).

We carried out a search in databases and relevant journal articles, mainly reflecting recurrent UTI, with repeated positive urine cultures, new or chronic renal injury and adverse events during or after treatment.

Although more studies are needed in this regard, the authors conclude that of all the data reviewed, there is evidence that prevention with antibiotics reduces the incidence of recurrent UTI in childhood.
