Abstrakt		Infections of the upper respiratory tract are the most important infectious diseases managed in family practice. Excessive prescription of antibiotics leads to an increase in antibiotic resistance, to more side effects and to increased costs in the health system. Patient expectations and demands are important elements which influence the increasing prescription of antibiotics. Providing multiple and varied antibiotic-related in formational messages may increase awareness of appropriate antibiotic prescribing and lower the demand for antibiotics. Clinical guidelines and medical education can help general practitioners (GP) to improve diagnoses and treatment of upper respiratory tract infections.
Izvleček		Okužbe zgornjih dihal so najpogostejše infekcijske bolezni, s katerimi se srečuje zdravnik družinske medicine. Čezmerno predpisovanje antibiotikov za te bolezni povečuje odpornost mikroorganizmov, število neželenih učinkov in stroške v zdravstvu. Pričakovanja oz. zahteve bolnikov so eden od pomembnih dejavnikov, ki vplivajo na pogostost predpisovanja antibiotikov. S sledenjem kliničnim smernicam, osveščanjem ljudi in izobraževanjem lahko izboljšamo stanje na področju diagnosticiranja in zdravljenja okužb zgornjih dihal.
