Two new blog posts are live on Pediatric ID and Immunization Updates! Recent graduates share evidence-based summaries on important pediatric infectious diseases topics: 🔹 Oral Antibiotic Transition for Pediatric Endocarditis: Is it Ready for Prime Time? By Hira Ilyas Could select pediatric patients with endocarditis safely transition from IV to oral antibiotic therapy? This post reviews emerging evidence and key considerations for clinical practice. 🔹 Watchful Waiting in Uncomplicated Acute Otitis Media: When Less Treatment Results in Improved Care By Timothy Rodrigue For some children with uncomplicated acute otitis media, observation instead of immediate antibiotics can support high-quality, patient-centered care while reducing unnecessary antibiotic exposure.
