Assessment of without prescription antibiotic dispensing at community pharmacies in Hazara Division, Pakistan: A simulated client's study

Tawseef Ahmad et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the sale of antibiotics without a prescription in community pharmacies in Hazara Division. The findings revealed a common practice of nonprescription antibiotic sales, with some pharmacies disregarding national regulations. This behavior may contribute to the increased risk of antibiotic resistance, posing a significant threat to public health. Regulatory measures should be taken promptly.

Summary: A study in Pakistan found a high rate of antibiotic prescribing among hospitalized COVID-19 patients, with the majority prescribed for prophylaxis. Secondary bacterial infections or co-infections were rare. Antimicrobial stewardship programs are urgently needed to address unnecessary prescribing in the context of COVID-19.

Evaluation of Bi-Lateral Co-Infections and Antibiotic Resistance Rates among COVID-19 Patients

Naveed Ahmed et al.

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence of bacterial co-infections and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in hospitalized COVID-19 patients in Lahore, Pakistan. The results showed a significant association between bacterial co-infections and hospitalized COVID-19 patients, with many bacteria showing high resistance to common antibiotics. Additionally, common symptoms of COVID-19 patients were significantly associated with bacterial co-infections. The findings highlight the potential severity of AMR and emphasize the importance of strict adherence to antibiotic usage guidelines and implementation of antibiotic stewardship programs at all institutional levels.

Management of Children Admitted to Hospitals across Bangladesh with Suspected or Confirmed COVID-19 and the Implications for the Future: A Nationwide Cross-Sectional Study

Kona Chowdhury et al.

Summary: There is an increasing focus on researching children admitted to hospital with new variants of COVID-19, combined with concerns with hyperinflammatory syndromes and the overuse of antimicrobials. Paediatric guidelines have been produced in Bangladesh to improve their care. Consequently, the objective is to document the management of children with COVID-19 among 24 hospitals in Bangladesh. Key outcome measures included the percentage prescribed different antimicrobials, adherence to paediatric guidelines and mortality rates using purposely developed report forms. The majority of 146 admitted children were aged 5 years or under (62.3%) and were boys (58.9%). Reasons for admission included fever, respiratory distress and coughing; 86.3% were prescribed antibiotics, typically parenterally, on the WHO 'Watch' list, and empirically (98.4%). There were no differences in antibiotic use whether hospitals followed paediatric guidance or not. There was no prescribing of antimalarials and limited prescribing of antivirals (5.5% of children) and antiparasitic medicines (0.7%). The majority of children (92.5%) made a full recovery. It was encouraging to see the low hospitalisation rates and limited use of antimalarials, antivirals and antiparasitic medicines. However, the high empiric use of antibiotics, alongside limited switching to oral formulations, is a concern that can be addressed by instigating the appropriate programmes.

The findings suggest that multifaceted interventions increased compliance, reduced antibiotic utilization and cost, and had a slight or no difference in mortality and length of hospital stay. Meta-analysis results showed a decrease in relative risk of mortality and a decrease in length of hospital stay. Additionally, a decrease in resistance to most micro-organisms was observed.

Summary: There are increasing concerns with rising antimicrobial resistance (AMR) globally, and Africa has the highest rates of AMR. National action plans (NAPs) and initiatives, such as point prevalence surveys (PPS) and antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASPs), have been implemented across Africa to reduce AMR. The results show a high utilization of antimicrobials in hospitals, with penicillins, ceftriaxone, and metronidazole being the most prescribed antibiotics. ASPs have been initiated to improve future prescribing, and various suggested activities have been presented to stakeholders to reduce AMR in Africa.
