Abstract: Objective To analyze the characteristics of adverse drug reactions induced by antibacterial drugs in children so as to provide reference for safe clinical drug use. Methods A total of 930 reports of ADR induced by antibacterial drugs in children submitted by our hospital to the National ADR Monitoring Center between 2017 to 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. Results Among the 930 cases of ADR reported, 565 (60.75%) were males and 365 (39.25%) were females. The incidence of ADR in patients aged 0 to 6 was the highest (88.07%). Most of the cases of ADR were induced by intravenous injection, accounting for 99.03%. 637 of these cases (68.49%) were induced by macrolides. The injury to the gastrointestinal system was the most common ADR, which accounted for 93.33% of the total. Most of these ADR were cured or improved after corresponding treatment. Conclusion The influencing factors of ADR induced by antibacterial drugs are complicated. The monitoring of ADR in children should be upgraded so as to promote rational use of drugs and ensure safe and effective drug use in clinic.
