Pneumonia is a major cause of morbidity and mortality of children under 5 years old (toddlers). The number of antibiotics use as a therapeutic treatment of pneumonia has caused bacterial resistance, medicinal side effect, and increasing medication cost. This research was carried out intended to know the relationship between antibiotic regimens used for pneumonia therapy and the outcome of parameters, such as body temperature and respiratory rate (RR), as well as the length of stay. This study is carried out in a retrospective descriptive design, using pneumonia patient's medical record (children under 5 years old), during the period from the 1st January – 31st December 2008. It was shown in this study that the dose of antibiotics given to pneumonia children under 5 years old are in single, combination, and transition form. The single antibiotics most widely used is Cefotaxime (87.5%), and the combination is Ampicillin -Chloramphenicol (94.4%) while transitional is Ampicillin -Chloramphenicol to Cephalosporin group (58.3%). The use of antibiotics for pneumonia among children under five patients either single, combination, and transition was successful in obtaining therapy outcome, including decreasing body temperature from> 38° C to normal body temperature, is 36° C-38° C and decreasing RR value with the average length of stay for five (5) days.
