Objectives: Typhoid fever is an acute systemic infectious disease in the small intestine caused by Salmonella enterica serotype typhi (Salmonella typhi) having the symptoms of fever a week or more with impairment of the gastrointestinal tract with or without impaired consciousness. The purpose of this study was to determine the rationality of antibiotic therapy in pediatric patients at M.M Dunda Limboto Hospital.Methods: This research belongs to non-experimental descriptive with retrospective data retrieval. The data used were obtained from 83 medical records of childhood typhoid patients during 6 months (June–November 2016) at the regional general hospital of M.M Dunda Limboto. These data were analyzed using the Gyssens criteria.Results: The results showed that the most antibiotics used by physicians were ceftriaxone 39% of the use of antibiotic quality which was category IIB 9%, category IIA 13%, and category 0 (rational) 52%.Conclusion: The rationality of antibiotic therapy in children with typhoid fever at M.M Dunda Limboto Hospital was 52% of the most antibiotics used, i.e. ceftriaxone (39%).

Hafnia alvei, a Gram negative motile bacillus that belongs to Enterobacteriaceae family is rarely associated with infection in pediatric patients and is exceptionally rare in the neonatal period. H. alvei is ubiquitous in the environment, causing infections in debilitated and immuno-compromised patients with few cases being reported in neonates. We report two cases of late onset sepsis in term neonates caused by H. alvei that were successfully treated in our unit. To the best of our knowledge, infection due to H. alvei has not been reported in neonates from India. Hafnia alvei causes infection rarely in neonates. Because it can cause nosocomial outbreaks, awareness regarding this uncommon pathogen and initiation of appropriate antibiotic therapy improves the outcome and prevents mortality.

Mycoplasma Pneumoniae Pneumonia

ABSTRACTThe importance of macrolide-resistant (MR)Mycoplasma pneumoniaehas become much more apparent in the past decade. We investigated differences in the therapeutic efficacies of macrolides, minocycline, and tosufloxacin against MRM. pneumoniae. A total of 188 children withM. pneumoniaepneumonia confirmed by culture and PCR were analyzed. Of these, 150 patients had a strain with an MR gene and 134 had one with an A-to-G mutation at position 2063 ofM. pneumoniae23S rRNA domain V. Azithromycin (n= 27), clarithromycin (n= 23), tosufloxacin (n= 62), or minocycline (n= 38) was used for definitive treatment of patients with MRM. pneumoniae. Defervescence within 48 h after the initiation of antibiotic therapy was observed in 41% of the patients in the azithromycin group, 48% of those in the clarithromycin group, 69% of those in the tosufloxacin group, and 87% of those in the minocycline group. The average number of days of fever after the administration of antibiotic treatment was lower in the minocycline and tosufloxacin groups than in the macrolide groups. The decrease in theM. pneumoniaeburden, as estimated by the number of DNA copies, after 48 to 96 h of treatment was more rapid in patients receiving minocycline (P= 0.016) than in those receiving tosufloxacin (P= 0.049), azithromycin (P= 0.273), or clarithromycin (P= 0.107). We found that the clinical and bacteriological efficacies of macrolides against MRM. pneumoniaepneumonia was low. Our results indicated that minocycline rather than tosufloxacin can be considered the first-choice drug for the treatment ofM. pneumoniaepneumonia in children aged ≥8 years.

ABSTRAK             Peresepan antibiotik untuk pasien anak-anak paling banyak digunakan dalam terapi. Penggunaan Antibiotik untuk anak-anak harus diawasi dan dikendalikan karena penggunaan antibiotik yang tidak terkontrol dan tidak tepat dapat berdampak pada kegagalan efek terapi yang diharapkan dan kemungkinan dapat meyebabkan resistensi antimikroba.  Pemakaian antibiotik harus dianalisis untuk mengendalikan resistensi antibiotik.  Tujuan penelitian ini untuk menilai rasionalitas terapi antibiotik pada pasien anak. Penelitian ini merupakan analisis deskriptif retrospektif dengan pengambilan data purposive sampling. Subjek dari penelitian adalah rekam medis dari bangsal anak RSUD Karawang. Rasionalitas penggunaan antibiotik adalah penilaian melalui metode gyssens. 147 data dianalisis untuk penelitian ini terdiri dari anak laki-laki (54,40%) dan perempuan (45,60%) dengan kasus demam tifoid (53,10), diare (24,5%) dan bronkopneumonia (22,4%). Antibiotik yang digunakan sefotaksim (71,43%), amoksisilin (5,44%) dan kloramfenikol (4,76%). Penilaian antibiotik melalui metode Gyssens adalah skala IVA (93,20%), skala IIB (6,12%) dan skala IIIA (0,68%). Kata Kunci: Antibiotik, Rasionalitas, Metode Gyssens.   ABSTRACT             Antibiotics prescription for pediatric patients is most widely used in therapy. Antibiotic use for pediatric must be watched and controlled because uncontrolled and inappropriate use of antibiotic can impact on failure of expected therapeutic effect and can also cause the possibility of antimicrobial resistance. Antibiotic consumption is must analyzed for controlling the antibiotics resistance. The aim of study The aim of this study was to assess the rationality of antibiotic therapy in pediatric patients. This research is a retrospective descriptive analysis with purposive data sampling. Subject of study are medical record from pediatric ward in RSUD Karawang. Rationality used of antibiotic is asses through Gyssens method. 147 data was analyzed for this study consist of boys (54,40%) and girls (45,60%) with case of typhoid  fever (53,10), diarrhea (24,5%) and bronchopneumonia (22,4%). Antibiotic was use Cefotaxime (71,43%), Amoxicillin (5,44%), Chloramphenicol (4,76%)etc.  Assessment  antibiotic through Gyssens method are IVA scale (93,20%), IIB scale ( 6,12%) and IIIA scale (0,68%).
