ABSTRACT
We studied the rates and characteristics of antibiotics consumption for community-acquired infections in 309 adult patients. Of them, 293 (94.8%) had received at least 1 course of antibiotics during the past year. In total, 419 courses of antibiotics were consumed during the past year, including 285 (68%) following medical examination, 72 (17.2%) following telephone consultation, 30 (7.2%) following suggestion by a pharmacist, and in 16 (3.8%) the antibiotic was available at home. Older age and asthma were significantly associated with a higher risk for antibiotics consumption.
