  • The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a new intervention for reducing antibiotic prescriptions and improving recovery rates in patients with non-severe acute febrile illnesses at primary health centers.
  • Patients were divided into two groups: one received the intervention, which included point-of-care tests and a diagnostic algorithm, while the other received standard care.
  • Results showed that the intervention significantly lowered antibiotic prescriptions (33.2% vs. 58.1%) and improved adherence to treatment, with all patients recovering by Day 7 regardless of the care received.
