NCT00724256

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of oral ceftibuten for 7 days versus 10 days in acute pyelonephritis in children. The main hypothesis is that the ceftibuten for 7 days will be not inferior to ceftibuten 10 days in the rate of renal scarring at 6-12 months.
