Article Synopsis
- Patients in adult psychiatric wards often experience a range of infectious complications or conditions that mimic infections, yet there's limited information on these issues.
- An observational study from 2016 to 2021 evaluated 37 patients, revealing that a significant portion of cases stemmed from an antimicrobial stewardship program, with most events showing identifiable infectious causes.
- The study found no mortality, highlighting that antibiotic monitoring is useful in detecting and managing diverse infectious problems in psychiatric settings, where some cases may also have non-infectious causes.
