[Results of 3 or 10 days' treatment with nitrofurantoin or cotrimoxazole in urinary infections in children].
110 children, affected by UTI, were included in this study; 52 of them were treated for 10 days and the remaining 58 for 3 days. Both groups were treated with cotrimoxazole or nitrofurantoin. Urine cultures were repeated soon after the end of therapy and repeated subsequently for a period of 6 months or of 1 year. There is not a great difference between the results obtained with the 10 days treatment and those of the 3 days treatment. An high percentage of relapses occurred in UTI caused by Proteus and Klebsiella.
