A new study says that taking antibiotics in infants suffering from a rare disease, intestinal obstruction - intussusception - the risk increases. But this conclusion does not mean that certain antibiotics cause intussusception, it is contributed to infants and young children suffering from one of the factors of this disease, it may be prudent use of antibiotics to be one of the reasons.
"Intussusception is 3 months -6 years old children, the most common intestinal obstruction, we believe that this is the first antibiotic may be a risk factor for intussusception, a preliminary study", the first of spino (David M. Spiro ) told Reuters that the conclusions "should be emphasized to parents and pediatricians, and only when absolutely necessary to use antibiotics wisely." Causes of intussusception are unknown between, there is research that American children of the disease incidence was 1 / 5, 000.
Since antibiotics can affect the intestinal activities, spino and colleagues began to study the use of antibiotics affected the risk of intussusception, which no one has done before. They will be 93 children with intussusception and 353 children seeking treatment for trauma were compared. In January the "pediatric and adolescent medical literature" (Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine 2003; 157:54-59), the authors report, taking antibiotics, the risk of children suffering from intestinal obstruction than those who did not serve a large four times, in which the children used the greatest risk of cephalosporin, more than 20 times. Used antibiotics in children - mostly because of otitis media - a 1 / 4 in the development of intestinal obstruction within 48 hours.
But Spinozzi and colleagues noted that more research is needed to confirm this conclusion.
