Hear expert opinion on the use of CRP point-of-care testing for COVID-19 management and reduction of antimicrobial resistance

Panorama

Join a panel of experts from across Europe for this compelling webinar presenting a view from the front line in Europe.

The webinar will analyse studies from around the world that show that C-reactive protein (CRP) levels proved to be one of the strongest inflammatory markers for severity and risk assessment in COVID-19 patients. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

The webinar will highlight the importance of Antibiotic Stewardship Programs (ASPs) in the context of the global pandemic and how antibiotics should be used only when necessary to curb the rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). [6] [7] [8] [9]

90% of respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are viral and therefore antibiotics have no clinical benefit. And yet RTIs are one of the most common reasons for unnecessary antibiotic prescribing. [10]

Learning Objectives

  • Despite the viral origin of COVID-19, a standard reflex by physicians is to start treatment with antibiotics since cough, fever and radiologic infiltrates are hallmarks of bacterial community-acquired pneumonia, which requires antibiotic treatment. [9]
  • The detection of CRP is of certain value to distinguish whether there is a bacterial infection in the lung. [6]
  • CRP may reflect disease severity and may be an independent predictor of adverse outcomes in COVID-19 patients. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
  • Antibiotics should be reserved for the patients with the most severe presentations. [9]
  • Avoid blind or inappropriate use of antibacterial drugs, especially the combination of broad-spectrum antibacterial drugs. [6]
  • There are many reasons why European countries launch Antibiotic Stewardship Programs (ASPs), and in the context of COVID-19, an ASP is needed now more than ever.
