The choice of antibiotics to treat delayed onset issues of infective sequalae is the subject of much debate, but how do we logically decide what one is needed and when? Why do some infections become chronic and problematic? What are we doing wrong? This session compliments Dr Vaghela’s in aiming to add some clarity to our drug choices. There is often confusion about the management of DONs, beginning with a failure to instigate a diagnostic process. Reactive prescribing, poly-pharmacy style, can render subsequent diagnostic steps ineffective, leading to a protracted recovery and increased risks to patients. What simple diagnostic steps can make a real change to our patients’ outcomes? Lecture notes Lecture notes
