Cover Image

This month’s cover image, Canadian Boys Outdoor Hockey, by Suzanne Berton, is a nostalgic reminder of some of the fun of Canadian winters. But with winter often comes an increase in illness and infections—and, as a result, potentially the use of antibiotics. Antibiotics account for a quarter of all prescriptions for children and are a common source of adverse events. A Child Health Update in this issue addresses the use of probiotics for antibiotic-associated diarrhea (page 37), and a Tools for Practice article also examines point-of-care testing for group A streptococcal pharyngitis to help determine who might benefit from antibiotics (page 41).

Image de la page couverture

L’image de la page couverture du mois par Suzanne Berton, intitulée Canadian Boys Outdoor Hockey, est une évocation nostalgique de certains plaisirs de nos hivers canadiens. Mais, avec l’hiver, vient souvent une hausse des maladies et des infections, d’où un recours potentiel aux antibiotiques. Les antibiotiques représentent le quart de toutes les prescriptions pour les enfants, et ils sont souvent à l’origine d’événements indésirables. Une Mise à jour sur la santé des enfants dans cette édition porte sur l’utilisation des probiotiques pour la diarrhée liée aux antibiotiques (page e9), et un article de la série Outils pour la pratique examine aussi le dépistage au point de service de la pharyngite causée par les streptocoques du groupe A pour déterminer les patients chez qui des antibiotiques seraient bénéfiques (page 41).
