We evaluated antibiotic prescription trends in rural Burkina Faso, where little is known about antibiotic consumption. Antibiotic prescription data for 20 communities were extracted through record review in six primary health-care facilities serving the communities. The number of antibiotic prescriptions per child-year was calculated using population-based census data from the communities. A total of 1,444 antibiotic prescriptions were made from March to June 2017 among 3,401 children in the communities. The frequency of antibiotic prescription was 1.70 prescriptions per child-year (95% CI: 1.61\u20131.79). Penicillins were the most common (1.04 prescriptions per child-year, 95% CI: 1.01\u20131.06), followed by sulfonamides (0.69 prescriptions per child-year, 95% CI: 0.67\u20130.71) and macrolides (0.38 prescriptions per child-year, 95% CI: 0.37\u20130.40). Continued monitoring of antibiotic consumption in diverse settings will be important to understand the potential for emergence of antibiotic resistance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.18-0791","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,29]],"date-time":"2019-01-29T02:00:37Z","timestamp":1548727237000},"page":"1121-1124","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["Antibiotic Prescription Patterns among Children Younger than 5 Years in Nouna District, Burkina Faso"],"prefix":"10.4269","volume":"100","author":[{"given":"Ali","family":"Si\u00e9","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre de Recherche en Sant\u00e9 de Nouna, Nouna, Burkina Faso;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Boubacar","family":"Coulibaly","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre de Recherche en Sant\u00e9 de Nouna, Nouna, Burkina Faso;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sawadogo","family":"Adama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre de Recherche en Sant\u00e9 de Nouna, Nouna, Burkina Faso;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lucienne","family":"Ouermi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre de Recherche en Sant\u00e9 de Nouna, Nouna, Burkina Faso;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Clarisse","family":"Dah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre de Recherche en Sant\u00e9 de Nouna, Nouna, Burkina Faso;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Charlemagne","family":"Tapsoba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre de Recherche en Sant\u00e9 de Nouna, Nouna, Burkina Faso;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Till","family":"B\u00e4rnighausen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Heidelberg Institute of Global Health, Medical Faculty and University Hospital, University of Heidelberg, Heidelberg, Germany;"},{"name":"Africa Health Research Institute, Somkhele, South Africa;"},{"name":"Department of Global Health and Population, Harvard T.H.
