title: [The economic impact of inadequate prescriptions].
abstract: The impact of antibiotic therapy has gone to considerable expense. The review of literature demonstrates that an optimal use of economical resources can be achieved by an improvement of medical prescriptions. This improvement of prescriptions can be obtained for prophylaxy and for curative therapy. Cost savings can be as high as one-year budget for the recruitment of an infectious diseases consultant.
