Abstract
- Acute otitis media and acute sinusitis are some of the most common antibiotic-prescribed diseases in childhood. Usually, with an accurate diagnosis, a 10-14 day course of antibiotics is recommended to cover common causative agents, including pneumococci. Establishment of management guidelines for these infectious diseases based on further study of the epidemiologic profile, antibiotic resistance, and clinical circumstances in Korea is needed.
