Antibiotic-associated diarrhea: therapeutic aspects and practical guidelines--an interdisciplinary approach to a common problem. Abstract Text:

Antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) is a common complication of antibiotic treatment, most often seen in non-hospitalised patients. In principle, such diarrhea can be triggered by any antibiotic. An interdisciplinary working group discussed the different aspects of AAD in view of its gastroenterological, microbiological, paediatric, general medical and pharmaceutical implications, also in consideration of the position of patients and health insurance funds. This paper implies therapeutic aspects and practical guidelines to raise awareness of these problems also in routine situations and to enable the persons and institutions involved on the various levels of the health-care system (patients, pharmacists, family doctors, specialists and hospitals) to handle the problem of AAD more easily in a standardised way as far as diagnostics, therapy and prevention are concerned.
