Single-dose IV antibiotics for children with complicated urinary tract infections
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests whether one dose of intravenous (IV) antibiotics is as effective as the usual multiple-dose course for children with complicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) who need IV treatment in the emergency department. It aims to reduce hospital stays and the need for repeated IV lines.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether giving antibiotics through a vein for 3 days works as well as giving 3 days through a vein followed by 7 days by mouth for a first urinary tract infection (kidney infection). It may help your child recover safely while possibly reducing longer IV treatment.
This study tests whether giving one dose of amikacin in the emergency department is practical and safe for treating uncomplicated bladder infections. It also looks at how patients do after treatment over the next 3, 7, and 30 days.
This study tests whether shorter courses of antibiotics are as effective as longer ones for children hospitalized with pneumonia, skin infections, or urinary tract infections. It may help children get back to normal faster and reduce side effects.
This trial looks at whether a simpler antibiotic plan can work for children with uncomplicated bone or joint infections that start in the community. It may help reduce the need for complicated treatment while still keeping the infection under control.
