Current and future etiologic therapy of bacterial pneumonia. 1. Antibiotic therapy for community-acquired pneumonia
Journal Title: Здоров`я дитини - Year 2017, Vol 12, Issue 3
Abstract
The progressive increase in the prevalence of respiratory infections caused by multiresistant pathogenic agents is a serious problem requiring strict indications and development of algorithms for prescribing antibacterial drugs for pneumonia treatment. Amoxicillin is a drug of choice for the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia with a mild and uncomplicated course in children. The indications for prescribing macrolides are the patient’s allergy to β-lactam antibiotics or suspect mycoplasmal or chlamydial etiology of pneumonia. The choice of amoxicillin/clavulanate or cephalosporins for oral administration is proved by the laboratory data or a clinical suspicion of pneumonia caused by pathogens producing β-lactamases. The treatment strategy with the use of non-antibiotic agents for antibiotic-associated diseases therapy is being actively developed currently.
