一篇大意是声张滥开抗菌素处方,对公众健康具有“新的和主要危险”的文章,刊登于《美国医学会志》。该文断言,由于错用和滥用抗菌素,使最近革兰氏阴性菌血症的发病率和死亡率有显著增加。作者引用了一项估计:“每年患革兰氏阴性菌血症的有30万例之多,且死亡数超过10万”。作者亦援引了《传染病杂志》的一篇社论,认为革兰氏阴性菌血症造成“最少有5万人死亡”,并认为美国目前处于“充满着国民流行病”的痛苦中。
An article purporting to prescribe antibiotic prescriptions that have “new and major risks” to public health is published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The article concludes that the incidence and mortality rates of recent Gram-negative bacteremia have increased significantly due to the misuse and abuse of antibiotics. The authors cite an estimate: “Each year, there are 300,000 Gram-negative bacteremias and more than 100,000 deaths.” The authors also cite an editorial in the Journal of Infectious Diseases that Gram-negative bacteremia causes “a minimum of 50,000 deaths” and believes the United States is currently suffering “from a national epidemic.”
