Title of the publicationAssociation Between Antibiotic Sales and Public Campaigns for Their Appropriate Use
Abstract

To the Editor: Two public campaigns for more rational use
of antibiotics were organized in Belgium in 2000-2001 and
2001-2002 with a goal of reducing overuse and misuse of
antibiotics in the community. We assessed their effectiveness
with a time-series analysis that examined changes in
antibiotic sales, accounting for the confounding effect of the
seasonal variation of influenza-like illnesses (ILIs).
