Experiments have been carried out with an association of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid for the long-term treatment of recurrent urinary tract infections. 20 children whose antibiogram showed that the microbe in question was insensitive to amoxicillin alone were selected for treatment; five suffered from urinary tract malformations. Urine sterilisation was obtained by administering a dose of 40 mg/kg/die for five days. Treatment continued with a single evening dose of 20 mg/kg for six months. A positive result was obtained in 18 subjects (90%). One case of E. coli proved resistant to the antibiotic. In another case, treatment had to be suspended for vomiting. At the end of treatment, haematological controls proved normal.

Abstract

Experiments have been carried out with an association of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid for the long-term treatment of recurrent urinary tract infections. 20 children whose antibiogram showed that the microbe in question was insensitive to amoxicillin alone were selected for treatment; five suffered from urinary tract malformations. Urine sterilisation was obtained by administering a dose of 40 mg/kg/die for five days. Treatment continued with a single evening dose of 20 mg/kg for six months. A positive result was obtained in 18 subjects (90%). One case of E. coli proved resistant to the antibiotic. In another case, treatment had to be suspended for vomiting. At the end of treatment, haematological controls proved normal.
