摘要
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 costeffective policy.
