This review demonstrates the value of ultrasound in determining the methods of treatment for pediatric cases with infectious diseases. Ultrasound can assess the extent and location of inflammation and abscess, aiding in the decision-making process for surgical intervention.
Background Infectious diseases are common in pediatric patients. In these patients, ultrasound is a useful imaging modality that involves no irradiation or sedation and can be performed repeatedly at the patient's bedside. The purpose of this review was to show pediatric cases with infectious disease that used ultrasound to decide the methods of treatment. Data sources Literature review was performed using Pubmed as the medical database source. No year-of-publication restriction was placed. The mesh terms used were: ultrasound, sonography, infectious disease, treatment, antibiotics, surgical intervention, pediatric, children, deep neck abscess, pyothorax, empyema, pneumonia, urinary tract infection, intra-abdominal abscess, soft tissue infection, septic arthritis, osteomyelitis, and surgical site infection. Results We presented pediatric case series with infectious diseases, including deep neck abscess, pyothorax and empyema, pneumonia, urinary tract infection, intra-abdominal abscess, soft tissue infection, septic arthritis and osteomyelitis, and surgical-site infection. Ultrasound was useful for evaluating the extent and location of inflammation and abscess and for decision-making concerning surgical intervention. Conclusion Knowledge of these sonographic findings is important for sonographers during examinations and for physicians when determining the treatment plan and period of antibiotic therapy for infected lesions.
