Because acute respiratory infections and particularlyacute otitis media (AOM), are the most common cause ofantimicrobial prescription in pediatric patients, it is important to optimize antimicrobial therapies. It is essential thatbefore prescribing an antimicrobial agent, the AOM diagno-sis is well established and the local microbiological patternis known. The present review incorporates novel conceptsfor the selection of the antimicrobial therapy in childrenwith AOM taking into account pharmacokinetic and phar-macodynamic principles applied to microbiologycal concepts. These new concepts have revolutionized the treatment of diverse infectious diseases in pediatric patients andparticularly in the treatment of children with otitis media. Figura 3.
