As a public good, antimicrobial medicines require rational use if their effectiveness is to be preserved. However, up to 50% of antibiotic use is inappropriate, adding considerable costs to patient care, and increasing morbidity and mortality. In addition, there is compelling evidence that antimicro...bial resistance is driven by the volume of antimicrobial agents used. High rates of antimicrobial resistance to common treatments are currently reported all over the world, both in health care settings and in the community. For over two decades, the Region of the Americas has been a pioneer in confronting antimicrobial resistance from a public health perspective. However, those efforts need to be stepped up if we are to have an impact on antimicrobial resistance and want to quantify said impact.

Цель: проведение анализа психоэмоциональных расстройств у пациентов с рассеянным склерозом, не по-лучающих никакого лечения по поводу этих нарушений. Материал и м...етоды. Для работы отобрана когорта пациентов с достоверным диагнозом рассеянного склероза, согласно критериям Ч. Позера, в составе 163 че-ловек. Использовался четырехмерный симптоматический опросник для оценки дистресса, депрессии, тревоги и соматизации (4DSq) и самоопросник для оценки симптомов фибромиалгии с оценкой количественных показателей (WPI, SS, FS). Результаты. Показаны различия средних значений уровня дистресса, депрессии, тревоги и соматизации у пациентов с рассеянным склерозом разного пола, возраста, с разным типом течения и длительностью заболевания. Заключение. Нервно-психический статус пациентов зависит от типа течения заболевания, уровень дистресса — от возраста и пола, уровень соматизации — от возраста данной категории больных. В комплексном лечении данной категории больных необходимо использовать помимо патогенетиче-ской терапии симптоматическое лечение, не только оказывающее нейротрофический и вазоактивный эффект, но и влияющее на психоэмоциональный фон пациентов.
