Many cephalosporins are presently available for clinical use. Although the cephalosporins are excellent antimicrobial agents for many infectious diseases in childhood, they have not replaced the older antibiotic regiments. In fact they offer the pediatrician a broader range of choices in treatment. This article gives a review on microbiological and pharmacokinetic properties of cephalosporins and an indication for the use of cephalosporins in pediatric therapy.
