With the influenza season reaching a peak, I see numerous children in my clinic with fever and influenza-like illnesses. Parents are concerned and at times ask for antibiotic treatment in hopes that the treatment will shorten the duration of illness. What strategies can I use in order to minimize inappropriate prescription of antibiotics during the influenza season?
Use of antibiotics for treatment of viral infections such as influenza contributes to the emergence of resistant bacteria strains. Misuse and overuse of antibiotics can be reduced by preventing the infection and its complications through vaccination, point-of-care rapid influenza testing, and early antiviral treatment when appropriate, as well as constantly increasing the knowledge of both physicians and families regarding the appropriate use of antibiotics.
随着流感季节达到高峰,我在诊所看到许多发烧和流感样疾病的儿童。家长们很担心,有时会要求使用抗生素治疗,希望治疗能缩短病程。我可以使用哪些策略来最大限度地减少流感季节期间抗生素的不当处方?
抗生素治疗流感等病毒感染会导致耐药菌的出现。通过接种疫苗、即时检测和在适当情况下尽早使用抗病毒药物来预防感染及其并发症,可以减少抗生素的误用和滥用,同时不断提高医生和家庭对抗生素合理使用的认识。
