Antimicrobials constitute a group of drugs that are widely used worldwide. They are very effective in both the treatment and control of infectious diseases but, as all drugs, they can also have secondary effects, mainly when they are used in a special population such as the paediatric one. This is the reason why this literature review was made. The review is aimed at going deeper into the knowledge of these drugs and their characteristics for their use in this population to achieve an effective and safe therapy.

Palabras clave : antimicrobials; special population; Paediatrics.
