Clinical Characteristics and Treatment Outcomes of Pediatric Bacterial Skin and Soft Tissue Infections in Central Vietnam: A Prospective Study.
Objective. This study examined bacterial skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) in pediatric patients at a hospital in Vietnam. Methods. An April 2022-June 2023 prospective obsevational study at a Tertiary Paediatric Centre in Vietnam. Results. From We analyzed 87 cases and found that the greatest occurrence rates were reported during the summer season. Common symptoms were fever, edema, and lower leg involvement. Curiously, although blood cultures seldom verified the offender, Staphylococcus aureus was the most common cause. Additionally, the study found that children with infections including pus were administered a more extended course of antibiotics. Approximately one-third of the patients underwent surgical procedures, and most of them were administered intravenous antibiotics. Fortunately, all the youngsters made a full recovery. Conclusions. In summary, the results indicate that children with purulent SSTIs, primarily attributed to Staphylococcus aureus, may need longer courses of antibiotics. Intravenous antibiotic administration emerged as the predominant therapeutic modality.
