title: [Effectiveness and tolerance of antibiotics in pediatrics patients].
abstract: Antibiotics represent the most widely prescribed therapeutic agents. Preschool children being most exposed to antibiotic drugs, especially in the community setting. Unnecessary antibiotic prescribing remains the cardinal contributing factor to the development of antibiotic resistance. Early antibiotic exposure, especially to broad-spectrum antibiotics, may suppress the developing immune system and produce a reduced anti-allergic response. Early antibiotic use in children is associated with an increased risk for asthma.
