Scope: The emergence of post-COVID-19 condition (PCC) after SARS-CoV-2 infection underscores the critical need for preparedness in addressing future post-acute infection syndromes (PAIS), particularly those linked to epidemic outbreaks. The lack of standardized clinical and epidemiological data during the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly hindered timely diagnosis and effective treatment of PCC, highlighting the necessity of pre-emptively standardizing data collection in clinical studies to better define and manage future PAIS.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigated the impact of early pandemic misinformation on the prescription rates of azithromycin for COVID-19 treatment, highlighting a gap in individual-level data linking the antibiotic's use to SARS-CoV-2 infection.
  • The analysis covered a cohort of patients from February 2020 to February 2022 and used prescription data from Emilia-Romagna, Italy, to assess how azithromycin consumption changed during different COVID-19 virus variants.
  • Results showed a significant increase in azithromycin usage during the acute phase of COVID-19 compared to control periods, but consumption levels returned to baseline once the acute phase passed, with only 12.9% of azithromycin use linked to COVID-19.
