Dear colleagues and friends,
The Perspectives series returns, this time with an exciting discussion about antibiotic use in acute uncomplicated diverticulitis. It has been fascinating to witness this field evolve from an era where not using antibiotics was inconceivable! Dr. Anne F. Peery and Dr. Neil Stollman, both recognized experts in the matter, provide arguments to both sides of the debate, as well as much-needed nuance. As always, I welcome your comments and suggestions for future topics at ginews@gastro.org. Thank you for your support, and I hope you will enjoy the reading and learning from this as much as I did.
Dr. Charles J. Kahi
