Single-dose doxycycline after high-risk tick bites can prevent Lyme disease, which disproportionately affects children. We described single-dose doxycycline dispensings in an outpatient cohort in the United States. During 2010-2020, a total of 427 105 patients received ≥1 dispensing(s); most were aged ≥65 years. Lyme disease postexposure prophylaxis may be underprescribed for some groups, including children.
高危蜱虫叮咬后单次服用强力霉素可预防莱姆病,该病对儿童的影响尤为严重。我们描述了美国一个门诊队列中单次服用强力霉素的配药情况。在2010年至2020年期间,共有427105名患者接受了≥1次配药;大多数患者年龄≥65岁。对于包括儿童在内的一些群体,莱姆病暴露后预防用药可能未得到充分处方。
