  • Title: Evidence for preventing infection in abortion care.
    Author: Gupta JK, Williams C.
    Journal: Eur J Contracept Reprod Health Care; 2007 Sep; 12(3):191-3. PubMed ID: 17763256.
    Abstract:
    There is controversy of whether prophylaxis treatment or a ''screen and treat'' policy should be adopted for preventing infective complications when women undergo abortion. There is currently compelling evidence that indicates that a universal policy of prophylaxis treatment to all women undergoing abortion should receive antibiotics. It is also a cost-effective policy.
