5/ This approach is confirmed by an AAP guideline, which unlike the AAP position statement on gender dysphoria, is an actual evidence based guideline. It recommends antibiotic use only after careful diagnosis. https://t.co/xfyYegNm3Y

特に問題となる疾患としては小児の急性中耳炎が挙げられると思います 小児の急性中耳炎では, 過去30日以内のペニシリン系の使用, 細菌性結膜炎の併存, アモキシシリンに反応しない反復性中耳炎の既往がある場合, 耐性菌のリスクが上昇しうるのでは, とある程度は予測されます https://t.co/Q0u47uFGBw

1) Reduce subjectivity by using more specific criteria to diagnose AOM, per AAP/AAFP guidelines. Use specific criteria for GAS testing. https://t.co/rQm1RF12vh (19/n) https://t.co/mulQfkJ9PM

#NURS751 M5- In the setting of Pediatric ENT, a CPG has been developed by the @AmerAcadPeds for the diagnosis and management of acute otitis media. The strength of using a CPG like this one is accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment of a child presenting with Acute OM.
