Abstract
Introduction: A condition known as bronchitis arises when the lungs’ bronchialtubes, or airways, become inflamed and produce mucus when coughed. Both acuteand chronic cases of bronchitis are possible (long-term).
Aims/objectives: The main objective of current prospective study in bronchitispatients is to evaluate antibiotics consumption, effectiveness and its escalation withantimicrobial resistance (AMR).
Methodology: Bronchit patient’s prospective data were collected during the diseasepeak season (January-March) at Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar, KhyberPakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Antibiotics consumption was calculated from the patientmedication chart, where hospital -stay/longitivity were evaluated from DOA toDOD.
Results: Highest antibiotics consumption of Piperacillin, Vancomycin, Ampicillinand Cefaperzone + Sulbactam are observed in more than 60% bronchitis in-patients. Similarly, hospital-stay/longitivity from 4-14 days were observed of 10-30% bronchitis in-patients, which is an alarming situation.
Conclusion: This condition is most likely a viral infection so antibioticsconsumption should be discouraged as it is not effective in this case and it also leads to adverse reactions and AMR.
