On August 05th and 06th, doctors from Toledo and region had the opportunity of taking part in the 83rd Descentralized Multidisciplinary Medical Conference of Paraná Medical Association (AMP) and Toledo Medical Association (AMT). The meeting took place at Olinda Hotel and Events and during both days different issues were discussed, among them, the suitable use of antibiotics.
This issue was approached by the infectious disease specialist from Escola Paulista de Medicina of  São Paulo Federal University, Dr. Eduardo Alexandrino Servolo de Medeiros, who pointed out the problem of antibiotics use, as well as presenting guidelines for the treatment of the main community and hospital-associated infections.
Yet, the CRM-PR medical advisor, Dr. Afrânio Bernardes, talked about the rules for the accomplishment of medical advertising and about the informed consent form, essential prior to any medical act, where the clinical and surgical procedures that will be carried out are exposed in details and in simple words.
In addition, the expert in Pediatric Gastroenterology, Dr. Geruza Mara Hendges delivered a lecture on “Allergy to Milk Protein and Lactose Intolerance”.
