Hi all! Had some questions regarding empiric antibiotics for bronchitis. Just wanted to send a reminder that we've had several awesome EMA reviews of antibiotic use for bronchitis, and they have noted no strong support of this practice except in the case of immunocompromised patients or special circumstances (chronic lung disease). Remember most bronchitis cases are viral infections which really just warrant supportive measures. Check out those EMA segments if you're looking to review! Keep up your daily dose!!
