The introduction of penicillin to medical practice in the Netherlands is closely related to the liberation of the Netherlands from Nazi occupation. The allied forces brought penicillin - of which they had vast quantities - to the Netherlands and introduced it to Dutch doctors. In many of the oldest documented cases involving the use of penicillin in the Netherlands, allied army doctors gave the ampoules of penicillin to Dutch doctors, who used the until then unknown medicine as a last-resort drug to treat patients with severe infections that had failed to respond to other treatments. The archives of the Dutch Journal of Medicine (NTvG) contain numerous interesting examples of case reports. A public call on the website of the Dutch public news broadcaster NOS resulted in several other apt examples. It is, however, not known exactly who the first Dutch patient to receive penicillin was.
青霉素在荷兰医学实践中的引入与荷兰从纳粹占领下解放密切相关。盟军将大量青霉素带到荷兰,并将其介绍给荷兰医生。在荷兰有记录的许多最早使用青霉素的案例中,盟军军医将青霉素安瓿交给荷兰医生,这些医生将这种此前不为人知的药物作为治疗严重感染且对其他治疗无反应患者的最后手段。《荷兰医学杂志》(NTvG)的档案中包含许多有趣的病例报告实例。荷兰公共新闻广播公司NOS网站上的公开征集又产生了其他一些合适的例子。然而,确切谁是荷兰第一位接受青霉素治疗的患者尚不清楚。
