Abstract:
Most acute infections of the upper respiratory tract are primary viral infections. Bacterial infections and superinfections in the head and neck in children require appropriate antibiotic therapy to prevent complications. No essential change of the bacterial spectrum of ENT infections of children has been seen in recent years. Penicillins and macrolides are important antimicrobial agents in current therapy. Beta-lactams are an important therapeutic advance.
