Abstract
Azithromycin activity in vivo has been studied in a group of children with acute respiratory tract infections in order to test the efficacy and tolerability of this antibiotic. The study involved 135 children treated with a single daily 10 mg/kg dose of azithromycin for three consecutive days. Ten days after this treatment 100% of children with otitis media, tracheobronchitis, or rhinosinusitis and 95.9% of children with pharyngo-tonsillitis were cured. Recurrences were never observed. Azithromycin proved remarkably effective for treatment of acute respiratory infections and otitis media in children. Tolerability and therapeutic compliance were excellent.
