Efficacy of Sulbactam vs Ceftriaxone for Treatment of Skeletal Infections in Children: An Observational Comparative Study

Abstract

Infections in a child's bones, knees, or tissues are possible. These disorders, which are usually referred to as "deep" infections are considerably such as osteomyelitis, septic arthritis, pyomyositis and other soft tissue disorders. Bacteria that are commonly found in our everyday living environment are what most often cause infections.After receiving appropriate care, the majority of kids with serious infections will truly heal. They are unlikely to procure the same infection once more. Children typically experience no further issues and resume all of their interests. Children usually turn out better when the infection is discovered sooner. When the illness is soon realised and treated, there is a higher likelihood of full recovery. For 6 months, the study was carried out in a tertiary care facility in Vadodara. Analysis of the data revealed that soft tissue disorders were more prevalent, and Staphylococcus aureus is the most frequent bacterium to cause bone, joint, or muscle infections in kids. Compared to ceftriaxone's response rate of 95%, sulbactam had a reliability of 100%.
