  • Osnove novih smernic za ambulantno zdravljenje okužb na spodnjih dihalih = Suggestions for new guidelines for outpatients management of lower respiratory tract infections
    Mušič, Ema
    Up to 80% of respiratory tract infections (RTI) are treated on an out-patient basis or at home. In 1997, the Slovenian Respiratory Society accepted the Slovenian Guidelines for the management of ... community-acquired pneumonia (1), and also in 1998, the Recommendations for the treatment of acute infective exacerbations of COPD (2). Similar epidemiology and bacterial susceptibility for antimicrobials in Slovenia and in western European countries, were the reason for Slovenia to adopt parts o f BTS (British Thoracic Society) guidelines and also of ERS (European Respiratory Society) guidelines (3, 4). In the years to follow, the antibiotic resistance of respiratory microorganisms developed to a different extent in each individual country. Meanwhile, new antibiotics for the management of RTI were approved, particularly new quinolones, new macrolides and ketolides, that are primarily indicated for the treatment of respiratory tract infections. At the Tavčarjevidnevi 2001 symposium, RTls in the elderly were discussed and practical recommendations for treatment were prepared (S). On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the Clinic for Respiratory Diseases and Allergy in Golnik, where new quinolones were introduced, an upgrade of Slovenian guidelines was formed. The new antibiotics should be included in the guidelines for out-patient treatment, however, indications should be care fully selected in order to further prevent the development of bacterial resistance to antibiotics, and to provide success ful out-patient treatment ofRTl in most patients. The key factor for treatment choice is determined by host factors, comorbidities and intensity classification of the infection. Such approach and suggested antibiotic use would also be positive from the pharmacoeconomic point of view.
