Respiratory infections are common in primary care, with pharyngitis and the common cold being most frequent. Antibiotics were overused, especially for viral infections, indicating a need for improved prescribing practices.

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Primary Health Care
  • Epidemiology

Context:

  • Respiratory infections are a leading cause of primary care visits.
  • These infections contribute significantly to absenteeism and antibiotic overuse.

Purpose:

  • To analyze the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of infections in Spanish primary health care.
  • To evaluate antibiotic prescribing patterns for respiratory and extrarespiratory infections.

Summary:

  • A study of 144,608 patients found 20,614 respiratory infections, primarily pharyngitis and common cold.
  • Antibiotics were prescribed in 65% of cases; 29.2% of treated viral infections received antibiotics.
  • Empirical antibiotic treatment was deemed adequate in 70% of potentially bacterial infections.

Impact:

  • Highlights the high prevalence of respiratory infections in primary care settings.
  • Identifies potential overuse of antibiotics for viral infections.
  • Provides data for optimizing antibiotic stewardship in primary care.
