We evaluated antibiotic prescribing practices for neonates and infants hospitalized with infections in resource-constrained healthcare settings, where antimicrobial resistance is responsible for significant neonatal morbidity and mortality. A point prevalence survey of 667 admitted infants across 10 clinical sites in Southeast Asia revealed a total of 405 antibiotics were prescribed to 218 infants, with high use of World Health Organization-classified "Watch," "Reserve" and "Not Recommended" antibiotics.
我们评估了在资源有限的医疗环境中,因感染住院的新生儿和婴儿的抗生素处方情况,在这种环境中,抗菌素耐药性导致了大量新生儿发病和死亡。对东南亚10个临床地点的667名入院婴儿进行的一项现况调查显示,共对218名婴儿开出了405剂抗生素,大量使用了世界卫生组织分类为“观察类”、“储备类”和“不建议使用类”的抗生素。
