Materials and methods. In 2016-2017, knowledge of antimicrobial therapy of respiratory tract infections in children was tested among 238 paediatricians in five cities (Yekaterinburg, Kirov, Novosibirsk, Surgut, Ufa). Testing included twenty stem questions composed according to modern clinical guidelines. Five answer choices were offered to each question, of which one or several were correct. Assessment of the results took into account both chosen and unchosen answers (maximally possible score was 100). The result of 91-100 scores was assessed as «excellent », 81-90 - «good», 71-80 - «satisfactory», 70 and less - «unsatisfactory». Results. The average score was 70.5. In different cities the average score was as follows: in Yekaterinburg - 71.7, in Kirov - 73.8, in Novosibirsk - 74, in Surgut - 69.3, in Ufa - 63.5. Only one physician's answers were assessed as «excellent» (0.42%), answers of 40 physicians were «good» (16.81%), 88 answers - «satisfactory» (36.97%) and 109 answers - «unsatisfactory» (45.8%). Conclusion. The study has shown insufficient knowledge of paediatrician on problems of antimicrobial therapy of respiratory tract infections.
