Abstract:
:Antimicrobial stewardship is a recent concept that embodies the practical, judicious use of antimicrobials to decrease adverse outcomes from antimicrobials while optimizing the treatment of bacterial infections to reduce the emergence of resistant pathogens. The objectives of the present statement are to illustrate the principles of antimicrobial stewardship and to offer practical examples of how to make antimicrobial stewardship part of everyday hospital and outpatient practice. Vital components of antimicrobial stewardship include appropriate testing to diagnose whether infections are viral or bacterial, and using clinical follow-up rather than antibiotics in cases in which the child is not very ill and uncertainty exists. Other specific, important actions include questioning whether positive urine cultures are contaminated when there is no evidence of pyuria or inflammatory changes, and obtaining a chest radiograph to support a diagnosis of bacterial pneumonia. Optimizing the choice and dosage of antimicrobials also reduces the probability of clinical failures and subsequent courses of antimicrobials. A list of common clinical scenarios to promote stew-ardship is included. :La gestion des antimicrobiens est un concept récent qui recouvre l’utilisation pratique et judicieuse des antimicrobiens pour en réduire les effets indésirables tout en optimisant le traitement des infections bactériennes afin de limiter l’émergence d’agents pathogènes. Le présent document de principes vise à exposer les principes de la gestion des antimicrobiens et à donner des exemples pratiques pour les intégrer à la pratique quotidienne en milieu hospitalier et en milieu ambulatoire. Les tests pertinents pour diagnostiquer si les infections sont d’origine virale ou bactérienne et le suivi clinique de préférence aux antibiotiques lorsque l’enfant n’est pas très malade et que l’incertitude persiste sont les éléments essentiels de la gestion des antimicrobiens. Parmi les autres mesures importantes et spécifiques, il faut se demander si les cultures d’urine positives sont contaminées en l’absence de pyurie ou de changements inflammatoires et effectuer une radiographie pulmonaire pour étayer un diagnostic de pneumonie bactérienne. L’optimisation du choix et de la dose d’antimicrobiens réduit également la probabilité d’échecs cliniques et de traitements subséquents. Une liste des scénarios cliniques fréquents afin de promouvoir la gestion des antimicrobiens est également présentée.
