Morbidity in pediatric burns, toxic shock syndrome, and antibiotic prophylaxis: a retrospective comparative study.

Abstract:

:The prophylactic use of antibiotic for pediatric burns has been suggested as a possible means of reduction of toxic shock syndrome. In our study, we review 1250 burn cases during a 16-year period (1983-1999). There was a change in protocol during this period (after 1991, all pediatric burn received prophylactic antibiotics irrespective of presentation), thus creating 2 groups: our control who received antibiotics when clinically necessary and our cases who received antibiotics as routine prophylaxis. Our results show no statistical difference between the 2 groups both in signs of morbidity and signs of potential toxic shock syndrome. We conclude that prophylactic antibiotic use is unnecessary and the use of antibiotics should be guided on a case by case basis according to symptoms.
