    Incredible story of serendipity: during an eye disease antibiotic trial deaths were unexpectedly found to have fallen sharply. Now this is a major public health breakthrough.https://mobile.nytimes.com/2018/04/25/health/africa-infant-mortality-antibiotic.html …

        This is certainly interesting. Pros: benefit in countries with poor access to healthcare, clean water, sanitation. Cautions: counterfeit market, inappropriate use, worsening resistance, dev lack of effectiveness for known infections. @Peds_ID @SHEA_Epi

        Routine use of antibiotics when we are losing the capability of fighting serious diseases due to drug resistance is pure lunacy.

        This is “huge”. “Two doses a year of an antibiotic can sharply cut death rates among infants in poor countries, perhaps by as much as 25 percent among the very young, researchers reported on Wednesday.”

        There is a reason they give antibiotics to cows chickens and pigs, they live and grow!!! Keep the babies alive! Give them what they need
