RESUMO
We evaluated the appropriateness of antibiotic prescriptions at discharge from a tertiary-care hospital in India. Of the 790 adult patients included, 84.4% received antibiotics. Microbiological specimens were taken from 67.3% of these patients, and pathogens were identified in 28.8% of cases. Overuse of antimicrobials at hospital discharge should be curtailed.
