Snippet: Notable is the overprescription of antibiotics in our population. Approximately 90% of cases have been treated with antibiotics, whereas only 31.7% had a pneumonia and should have been treated as such following WHO criteria. Moreover, most of the antibiotic treatments concerned broad-spectrum antibiotics, whereas a narrow-spectrum penicillin is recommended in the primary care setting.

Document: Notable is the overprescription of antibiotics in our population. Approximately 90% of cases have been treated with antibiotics, whereas only 31.7% had a pneumonia and should have been treated as such following WHO criteria. Moreover, most of the antibiotic treatments concerned broad-spectrum antibiotics, whereas a narrow-spectrum penicillin is recommended in the primary care setting. Literature confirms that practices are similar in other low-income countries. [44] [45] [46] The main strength of this study is the inclusion of all ARTIs within a primary care clinic. This gives insight into the pathogens causing the infections. Other strengths are the large number of pathogens tested for, with PCR and culture testing for bacteria, and the inclusion of treatment methods. An additional strength is that all data were gathered by one researcher, hereby decreasing the risk of variation in swabbing technique.
