COVID-19: An Emerging Threat to Antibiotic Stewardship in the Emergency Department	2020-08-07		.txt	text/plain	2286	131	27	Patients with COVID-19 infection can present with a wide spectrum of illness severity and nonspecific clinical features (eg, cough, dyspnea) that overlap substantially with other common acute respiratory conditions such as asthma, congestive heart failure, and bronchitis. 13 Given the lack of widespread access to accurate and rapid COVID-19 diagnostics, including the absence of point-of-care assays, it is incredibly difficult to differentiate COVID-19 from other acute respiratory conditions for which antibiotics are generally indicated (eg, community-acquired pneumonia and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbations). COVID-19: An Emerging Threat to Antibiotic Stewardship in the ED role of host response biomarkers in helping clinicians identify bacterial infections in patients with acute respiratory illnesses. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is exacerbating known challenges to optimal antibiotic stewardship in the ED, representing an additional direct threat to patient safety and public health via antibiotic overprescribing and promotion of bacterial resistance.
