Clinical Trial Summary

The investigators aim to assess the effectiveness of a 7-day compared with a 10-day course of antibiotic treatment for febrile urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children. It is formulated a hypothesis that a 7-day course of antibiotic therapy is equally effective as a 10-day course of therapy and would entail a lower risk of adverse events and better compliance.


Clinical Trial Description

In previously published European and global guidelines, there has been no consensus among experts regarding the duration of therapy for a febrile UTI. Depending on the recommendation, the duration of treatment should be between 7-14 days.

221 patients aged 3 months to 7 years with febrile UTIs (defined as a combination of fever and leukocyturia in urine sediment) will be randomly assigned to receive a 7-day treatment arm (7 days of cefuroxime/cefuroxime axetil followed by 3 days of blinded placebo) or a 10-day treatment arm (7 days of cefuroxime/cefuroxime axetil followed by 3 days of blinded cefuroxime axetil).

The primary outcome measure will be frequencies of recurrence and reinfection of UTI during the 6 months after the intervention. The secondary outcome measures will be antibiotic-associated diarrhea and compliance. ;
