SWAB guidelines for antimicrobial therapy of acute infectious diarrhoea
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Dutch Working Party on Antibiotic Policy (SWAB: Stichting Werkgroep Antibioticabeleid) develops evidence-based guidelines for the use of antibiotics in hospitalised adults. In this article we discuss the guideline on antibiotic treatment of acute infectious diarrhoea (AID). AID can be subdivided into community-acquired diarrhoea, traveller's diarrhoea and hospital-acquired (nosocomial) diarrhoea. For the first two categories, the need for antibiotic treatment is generally restricted to individuals with severe illness, dysentery and/or a predisposition to complications. Infection with Campylobacter species is the most common cause of bacterial AID in the Netherlands. In human Campylobacter isolates in the Netherlands, but also in other parts of the world, high rates of primary fluoroquinolone resistance are prevalent. If antibiotic treatment in community-acquired AID and AID in travellers on return to the Netherlands is indicated, it is therefore advised to use oral azithromycin for three days as empirical treatment. If intravenous treatment is necessary, the combination of ciprofloxacin and erythromycin for five to seven days may be used. As soon as the identity of the causative organism is known, antimicrobial treatment should be tailored accordingly

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
