While it has become increasingly rare in industrialized regions, it continues to affect children in developing countries. There has been debate as to why incidence rates are declining, including the possibility of improved initial treatment of bacterial infections. The ability of antimicrobial therapy in preventing PIGN as infectious sequelae, however, has not been comprehensively assessed. As varying evidence from published studies exists, the objective of this meta-analysis is to determine if antimicrobial therapy utilized to treat an initial infection has an effect in reducing the development of PIGN in humans. EMBASE, MEDLINE, and CENTRAL were searched using a comprehensive terminology strategy. From an initial search that returned 337 publications, 9 articles were included f...
