Hospital referral is indicated as an emergency for breast infections not settling with oral antibiotics. Referrals to a breast clinic over a period of 6 months were assessed for prior antibiotic prescription. A total of 1078 patients were seen during this period. 91 (8%) patients had been prescribed antibiotics, 71% of which had been prescribed for non-infective conditions. Of those patients treated for infection, 42% had the wrong antibiotic prescribed. The final diagnoses for patients inappropriately prescribed antibiotics were chest wall pain in 23% and duct ectasia in 14%. Although the reasons for prescription of antibiotics are mutifactorial, careful examination of the patient will diagnose chest wall pain. Delayed prescribing may be appropriate for some patients.
对于口服抗生素治疗无效的乳腺感染,需紧急转诊至医院。对6个月内转诊至乳腺诊所的患者进行了先前抗生素处方评估。在此期间共诊治了1078例患者。91例(8%)患者曾使用抗生素,其中71%用于非感染性疾病。在接受感染治疗的患者中,42%使用了错误的抗生素。抗生素处方不当患者的最终诊断为胸壁疼痛占23%,导管扩张占14%。尽管抗生素处方的原因是多因素的,但仔细检查患者可诊断胸壁疼痛。对于一些患者,延迟开处方可能是合适的。
