Antibiotic overuse in children is fueling one of the most urgent global health crises — antimicrobial resistance (AMR) directly caused over 1.27 million deaths in 2019, and 1 in 5 AMR deaths occurs in a child under 5. In this evidence-based lecture, Dr. Ira Shah (Department of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, B.J. Wadia Hospital for Children, Mumbai) presents a concise, practical clinical reference for empiric antibiotic prescribing in common and serious pediatric infections.
This session covers a clear decision framework for when to give — and when NOT to give — antibiotics across tonsillitis, otitis media, sinusitis, pneumonia/bronchiolitis, and gastroenteritis, along with distinguishing viral vs. bacterial LRTI, empiric therapy for respiratory tract infections, URTI treatment guidelines, GI infections, and empiric management of bacterial meningitis, rounded off with a quick-reference antibiotic guide.
