Global Sales and Income For the quarter, consolidated sales totaled $5.2 billion compared to $6.3 billion in 2000. Segment sales, including transfers and the company's pro rata share of sales by equity affiliates, were $5.9 billion versus $7.2 billion in 2000. Excluding the reduction in sales attributable to divested businesses, segment sales were down 12 percent. Fourth quarter income excluding one-time items was $124 million versus $494 million in 2000. Including one-time items, fourth quarter income was $3, 915 million, compared to $261 million in the fourth quarter of 2000, principally reflecting the gain on sale of DuPont Pharmaceuticals. For the year 2001, consolidated sales totaled $24.7 billion compared to $28.3 billion in 2000. Full-year segment sales were $27.7 billion, down 10 percent after adjusting for divestitures. Full-year income excluding one-time items was $1, 251 million versus $2, 878 million in 2000. Underlying segment after-tax operating income ATOI ; of $1, 859 million was 49 percent below last year, reflecting significantly lower earnings in all segments, principally due to lower worldwide sales volume and margins. One-Time Items One-time items are described in the notes to the accompanying financial statements and are summarized in the table below.
There are now at least 30 randomized controlled trials demonstrating efficacy of the cholinesterase inhibitors in various stages of the disease with a variety of different outcome measures Rogers et al., 1998; Burns et al., 1999; Rosler et al., 1999; Farlow et al., 2000; Raskind et al., 2000; Tariot et al., 2000; Reisberg et al., 2003; Bullock et al., 2005 ; . However, there is ongoing debate as to the clinical relevance of the reported outcomes in relation to the cost of the drugs and the prevalence of the disease. The debate is fuelled by the fact that outcomes for registration of the drugs were based on tests of cognition and global assessments that do little to capture changes in behaviour which are key symptoms of the, for example, azithromycin side affects. It is true that there are unscrupulous suppliers who sell medicines of poor quality without prescription but then there are many legitimate online pharmacies who sell generic and brand name medications. 21.

Are costs other than those involved in, or consequent upon, the actual procedures given their due weight? These include the physical and psychological harms sufferings associated with capture, confinement, transportation, social isolation, husbandry systems and general handling of animals. Should death in itself be considered a harm and what weight should be given to this in the cost-benefit assessment. In the experience of NAVS personnel, gained during periods of working in UK laboratories, there is not enough weight accorded to sufferings deprivation as a result of the laboratory environment. In brief, the smaller the species, the less provision is made for space, welfare, mental stimulation, and opportunity for expression of natural behaviours. Laboratory animals, by nature of the environment to which they have been brought, must live in barren environments; sterile caging, minimal and sterile bedding, pelleted or other specially processed food, no access to fresh air. They are frequently overcrowded and unable to avoid bullying cage mates. The Code of Practice for the Housing and Care of Animals used in Scientific Procedures COP ; is routinely ignored, and not enforced. For many species, the standards laid down in the COP are rudimentary and in some respects, inadequate. Yet even these standards are not met; at the Institute of Neurology, a project licence was awarded for a project using monkeys, despite that the accommodation breached almost every recommendation in the COP. A similar situation had been found some years earlier, again with monkeys, at St. Mary's Hospital Medical School; in this instance, an undertaking had been given to improve the facilities. Despite the proximity of the two laboratories, the exposure of poor facilities at St. Mary's did not prompt workers at the Institute of Neurology to improve their own facilities. The animal may well suffer more psychological harm through being caught, transported and kept in captivity than through the actual procedure to which it is subjected. Due consideration must be given to the psychological state of any animal used in a scientific procedure, be it small or large. Cost benefit assessments should give a large weighting to the extra stress placed on a wild caught animal through being brought into captivity. Particularly stressful will be: lack of space, own territory and freedom to roam or forage lack of exercise lack of freedom to associate with, or avoid conspecifics, including relations mates presence of and handling by humans process of capture and transport change in diet and frequency of feeding restrictions on normal behaviour e.g. burrowing change in daylight cycle or climate change in stimuli to primary senses change in substrate.

Be avoided because the hydrophobic lipid-rich mycobacterial cell walls limit the release of organisms from the swab. Mycobacteria stain as weakly Gram positive, but acid-fast stains are critical in early identification of infection. Fluorescent antibody staining may also be helpful. Although mycobacteria will grow on standard blood agar plates, these fastidious organisms grow more readily on the egg-based Lwenstein-Jensen media or agar-based Middlebrook media 7H9 broth or 7H10 7H11 plates ; . The rapid-growing group IV species can grow out in less than a week. In this study, initial growth was seen by day 4 and sensitivity testing was performed by day 8. The traditional drug of choice for the treatment of mycobacterial keratitis has been the aminoglycoside amikacin. However, the non-response rate to amikacin may be as high as 60%, likely due to poor penetration through intact epithelium.3 Other aminoglycosides such as tobramycin have been used. Topical fluoroquinolones have proven useful, although general resistance to this class has also been reported. Topical and oral macrolides, such as clarithromycin 10 to 40 mg ml ; and azithromycin 2 mg ml ; have also been recommended.3, 8 Steroids may yield an initial clinical improvement, as seen in this case; but the overall course is worsened due to its suppression of cell-mediated immunity, an integral part of combating mycobacterial disease.3 Despite intensive topical treatment, post-LASIK mycobacterial keratitis frequently does not respond to medical therapy. Poor drug penetration and sequestration of the organism frequently necessitate flap amputation. In fact, 52% 28 of 54 ; of cases reported to date have undergone this procedure.4-7 Penetrating keratoplasty may also be required for extirpation of the organism or for visual rehabilitation. Three clusters of mycobacterial outbreaks following LASIK have been reported. The suspected sources of contamination have been the ice machine used to chill irrigating solutions, 9 the "steamer" used.

Single dose pk study: will characterize single-dose oral azithromycin pk, safety and tolerability in infants less than two weeks of age born to mothers with untreated or inadequately treated genital tract infection at one or more clinically relevant doses and bromocriptine.
C. The major side effect of emergency contraception with oral contraceptives is nausea, which occurs in 50% of women; vomiting occurs in 20%.If the patient vomits within two hours after ingesting a dose, the dose should be repeated. An antiemetic, such as phenothiazine Compazine ; , 5-10 mg PO, or trimethobenzamide Tigan ; , 100-250 mg, may be taken one hour before administration of the contra ceptive. VIII. Intrauterine devices A. IUDs represent the most commonly used method of reversible contraception worldwide. The Progestasert IUD releases progesterone and is effective for 1 year. B. The ParaGard T 380A IUD is a copper-containing device which may be used for 10 years. C. The Mirina releases levonorgestrel over 5 years. D. IUDs act by causing a localized foreign-body inflammatory reaction that inhibits implantation of the ovum. An IUD may be a good choice for parous women who are in a monogamous relationship and do not have dysmenorrhea. E. Contraindications include women who are at high risk for STDs and those who have a history of pelvic inflammatory disease, and women at high risk for endocarditis. Oral administration of doxycycline, 200 mg, or azithromycin Zithromax ; , 500 mg, one hour before insertion reduces the incidence of insertion related infections. References: See page 195.
Page 23 of 40 also discolor urine, tears and sweat brownish-orange ; so do not be alarmed if you see this. It may also stain some types of water-permeable contact lenses. If you are taking rifampin and you develop new or worse symptoms, or a new infection appears such as a severe sore throat, high fever, etc., stop the medication and call the office right away, as these may be signs of drug-related side effects. Taking rifampin when pregnant is not advised. Do not take this if you are or may become pregnant. If you are on rifampin and do become pregnant, stop this drug immediately and contact your MD. Please keep a symptom diary while you're on this medication so your progress can be tabulated. ANTIBIOTIC CHOICES ORAL THERAPY: Always check blood levels when using agents marked with an * , and adjust dose to achieve a peak level in the mid- teens and a trough greater than five. Because of this, the doses listed below may have to be raised. Consider Doxycycline first due to concern for Ehrlichia. * Amoxicillin- Adults: 1g q8h plus probenecid 500mg q8h; doses up to 6 grams daily are often needed Pregnancy: 1g q6h and adjust. Children: 50 mg kg day divided into q8h doses. * Doxycycline- Adults: 100 mg qid with food; doses of up to 600 mg daily are often needed, as doxycycline is only effective at high blood levels. Not for children or in pregnancy. If levels are too low at tolerated doses, give parenterally. * Cefuroxime axetil- Oral alternative that may be effective in amoxicillin and doxycycline failures. Useful in EM rashes co-infected with common skin pathogens. Adults and pregnancy: 1g q12h and adjust. Children: 125 to 500 mg q12h based on weight. Tetracycline- Adults only, and not in pregnancy. 500 mg tid to qid Erythromycin- Poor response and not recommended. Clarithromycin- Adults: 500 to 1000 mg q12h. Add hydroxychloroquine, 200-400 mg d or amantadine 100-200 mg d. Cannot be used in pregnancy or in younger children Azithromycin- Adults: 500 to 1200 mg d. Adolescents: 250 to 500 mg d. Add hydroxychloroquine, 200-400 mg d, or amantadine 100-200 mg d Cannot be used in pregnancy. Oral azithromycin is not as effective as clarithromycin. Augmentin- Cannot exceed three tablets daily due to the clavulanate, thus is given with amoxicillin. This combination can be effective when Bb beta lactamase is felt to be present. Chloramphenicol- Not recommended as not proven and potentially toxic. Metronidazole see text ; : 500 to 1500 mg daily in divided doses. Adults only. PARENTERAL THERAPY Ceftriaxone- Risk of biliary sludging can be minimized with intermittent breaks in therapy ie: infuse five or less days in a row per week ; . Adults and pregnancy: 2g q12h, four days in a row each week. Children: 75 mg kg day up to 2g day Cefotaxime- Comparable efficacy to ceftriaxone; no biliary complications. Adults and pregnancy: 2g q8h; may dose as high as 12g daily. Suggest a continuous infusion. Children: 90 to 180 mg kg day dosed q6h preferred ; or q8h, not to exceed 12 g daily. * Doxycycline- Requires central line as is caustic. Surprisingly effective, probably because higher overall, and spiked blood levels when given parenterally. Always measure blood levels. Adults: 400 mg q24h and adjust based on levels. Cannot be used in pregnancy or in younger children. Azithromycin- Requires central line as is caustic. Dose: 500 to 1000 mg daily in adolescents and adults. Penicillin G- IV penicillin G is minimally effective and not recommended. Benzathine penicillin- Surprisingly effective IM alternative to oral therapy. May need to begin at lower and cabergoline.

Cause of this process. The "SAFE" strategy is used for the control of trachoma: surgery for in-turned lashes, antibiotics for active disease, facial cleanliness, and environmental improvement. The demonstration that a single oral dose of the antibiotic azithromycin is as effective as 6 weeks of topical tetracycline was an important advance in trachoma control. By means of the SAFE strategy, WHO and its partners aim to eliminate trachoma as a public-health problem by the year 2020. GENDER 12 HPP 2003; 18 3 ; : 2619 Sept ; Gender-based barriers to primary health care provision in Pakistan: the experience of female providers Mumtaz Z, et al., Centre for Population Studies, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, UK In common with several countries in South Asia, the Pakistan government health system has introduced cadres of communitybased female health and family planning workers as a response to gender-based constraints on women's access to services. However, the recruitment, training and retention of such female workers has been difficult. This finding points to the obvious but neglected fact that female health workers must operate within the same gender systems that necessitate their appointment in the first place. The present study used qualitative methods to increase our understanding of the experience of female staff working at the community level and in particular the gender-based constraints that they face. Important problems identified include: abusive hierarchical management structures; disrespect from male colleagues; lack of sensitivity to women's gender-based cultural constraints; conflict between domestic and work responsibilities; and poor infrastructural support. The findings highlight the interconnectedness of women's public and private lives and the interplay of class and gender hierarchies in the patterning of women's employment experiences. The study's conclusions suggest ways in which the organizational functioning of the government health services might be modified to better facilitate the work of female staff. 13 IJEP 2003; 32 4 ; : 6527 Aug ; Genders, sexes, and health: what are the connections and why does it matter?

Family history of response to a particular medication If a close relative did well on a specific type of medication, you may respond to it as well. The side effect profile of a particular drug The side effect of a given medication can either help or hinder your treatment. For example, some drugs used for depression may have a calming or sedating effect; so if you are both depressed and anxious or sleep-deprived, such drugs may offer an additional benefit over and above the intended antidepressant effect ; . However, the same drugs may hinder your treatment if you do not actually desire or need the sedating effects. For example, if you have the type of job that requires physical and mental alertness, the side effect of sedation may prove to be a detriment. The good news is that there are a variety of medications now available, and new ones are being developed all the time. In the future, it may be possible to tell exactly which chemical systems are out of balance in the brain and to tailor the treatment accordingly. I was wondering. What kinds of antidepressants are available today? and calan. Using ED drugs in combination with speed substantially increases your chances of contracting an STD including HIV ; .

Of many of the safety features, even though, in the questionnaire, the members of the panel were asked not to consider operationalisation. There were frequent comments about the possible limitations imposed upon such features by current methods of data recording. For example, the lack of accurate and complete recording of data such as allergy status or indication was raised as a severe limitation "it assumes that allergy history is complete, that diagnostic information is correct and updated; this currently is a major assumption". Alerts concerning contraindications such as with concomitant conditions drugs or by certain routes of administration ; caused a lot of comment, raising the point that drugs were sometimes used appropriately in spite of such warnings. One of the members commented that an alert about the patient's age "would be useful, but may cause problems for paediatrics as may stop junior doctors prescribing medicines required as used outside license". Contraindications that were rare and easy to miss e.g. porphyria ; , or where ignoring them had immediate consequences, were described as more useful and important. frequently, but be important so infrequently, as to be virtually useless. One member of the panel suggested differences in the level of drug interactions shown to different groups of staff: "medical staff may only wish to see interactions defined as `hazardous' within the BNF, whereas clinical pharmacists may wish to see all possible interactions when reviewing the prescription chart." The alerts concerning renal or liver impairment were considered to be only useful if it was possible to link them to severity of disease, using objective measures rather than potentially inaccurate or not current diagnoses recorded on the system. Alerts that fired in response to mild renal impairment, particularly for elderly patients, would be too frequent to be useful. Although there appeared to be a general consensus that alerts should be difficult to override, and only rarely impossible, one member raised the issue about who should make this decision. "We need nationally agreed safety standards on what constitutes `risk of serious harm' for such all systems to respond similarly in the same situation not left to the individuals setting up the computer system". The source of the information used for the rules such is the BNF or other named textbooks ; was also raised "evidence for rules is difficult so guidance from alerts may prove confusing". 43 However, contraindications that applied to childbearing women statement 4 ; were considered to fire so. Dysphagia is common in the elderly, especially in those with chronic disease or living in residential homes. Radiologic and endoscopic studies can differentiate oropharyngeal and esophageal causes of dysphagia. Mechanical anatomic ; disorders should be distinguished from functional motor ; disorders; history and diagnostic tests are important. The elderly should be educated regarding the risk of pill esophagitis and the preventative measures that can be taken. Dysphagia is common in patients with reflux symptoms and controlling these symptoms can resolve the dysphagia and carbidopa.

In our previous Corporate Citizenship reporting we focused extensively on explaining the reasons for our social, humanitarian and ecological commitment and describing the processes we initiated to fulfil our pledges. These mainly revolved around ascertaining our performance in the relevant areas, developing policies and guidelines, and defining targets. We also reported on our many implementation programs and awareness campaigns aimed at incorporating our Corporate Citizenship principles into our business activities. At the time we had few tangible results to show for all our new endeavors. This year, based on the feedback we have received from stakeholders, we have tried to focus more on describing the tangible results of our activities and on discussing both our successes and shortcomings. We believe that this new reporting attitude reflects a new level of corporate maturity. To us, Corporate Citizenship builds on three pillars: active engagement in society in areas were we are competent; helping where we can and where help is needed most; establishing and implementing transparent, ethical corporate standards and policies. Health Service. Results have been astonishing. The disease now has a prevalence rate of less than 1 in 10 000. More importantly, ignorance has been conquered, too. Priyantha and Nihal are two brothers from Polonnaruwa, a rural district of Sri Lanka. About a year ago, Nihal noticed a strange patch on the skin of his right leg with no sensation. He didn't pay much attention to it until he noticed a similar patch on his elder brother's chest. "We just took it lightly and even teased each other by scratching each other's patches." Their mother walked in one evening and saw what was going on. She looked at their skin and was alerted at once. She had seen a TV advertisement in which people were told to get such patches checked by a doctor, and sent Nihal to the hospital at Polonnaruwa the next day while his brother was at work. "The doctor at the hospital told me that what I have is leprosy. He filled out a form and told me that I have to take the treatment for six months. He also gave me a booklet with a picture of a bride on the cover and instructed me to read it very carefully and conscientiously." Nihal collected his medicine, was shown how to take the pills, given the first dose and asked to come back for the next packet in one months' time. But he did better than that. The very next day he returned with his elder brother and a friend who had similar skin patches. Both were promptly diagnosed and also given medication and booklets. Sri Lanka's health authorities were able to provide the drugs free of charge due to the support of the WHO and of Novartis. "Our parents would have had to spend a lot of money to have us treated. That could have affected our entire families." The boys completed the treatment, and the episode is already pretty much forgotten. For the younger generation leprosy no longer holds any fear. But Nihal and Priyantha were conscious of the very different outcome this story might have had only a few years ago. "They sent people with this disease to the jungle in the good old days, " Nihal smiles wryly. The program in Sri Lanka is considered a bestpractice example as it shows ways for public authorities and private enterprises to combine their knowledge and credibility in an effective manner. Side effects were common in both groups 38% overall ; , with 40% of the azithromycin group reporting moderate to severe gastrointestinal side effects compared to 17% in the amoxicillin group p 11.
YSTEMATIC investigation of myocardial hypertrophy in spontaneously hypertensive rats SHR ; led to the suggestion that factors other than blood pressure BP ; may be involved in the development or reversal of myocardial cardiac hypertrophy.1' Recently, we have attempted to dissociate hypertension and myocardial hypertrophy by using antihypertensive drugs, either alone or in combination, to study the possible involvement of humoral factors in either the development or the reversal of hypertrophy. Data suggested the possible involvement of one of three factors: the renin-angiotensin R-A.

Table 6. Pharmacokinetics of some antihistamines under special conditions and azulfidine. With dual-chamber pacing. Treatment of the vasodepressor response type has proved less successful, and this almost certainly reflects a limited understanding of the underlying mechanisms producing the response. A review of prescribed medications is the first step, particularly looking for drugs with vasodilator and or vagal activity.
Research design, or format. Rather, the guidelines are intended to delineate what information the health plan needs. Manufacturers are encouraged to supply all available data on clinical and economic benefit, rather than just the clinical trials used to support licensing or those used in promotional materials. Consequently, it is recommended that the manufacturer collaborate early in the process with the health plan's representatives see Section 5.4: Agenda for Presubmission Meeting ; . Recommended Process The recommended steps for the formulary submission process are: Step 1. At least six months before submission, a letter Notice of Intention to Submit ; should be sent to notify the health plan's pharmacy director or formulary manager of the manufacturer's intent to submit a product for formulary consideration. This letter should include the anticipated timelines for the submission, allowing the health plan to schedule a review and assign the submission to a subcommittee. Step 2. The manufacturer should schedule a presubmission meeting with representatives of the health plan to review the format's requirements and to identify any data needed to establish a baseline for assessing product impact. This meeting should also address how to capture these data see Section 5.4.

Ya, India, the Sudan, and the Mediterranean region 36, 143, 161 ; . Liposomal amphotericin B was successful in treating visceral leishmaniasis in two human immunodeficiency viruspositive Spanish patients 163 ; . A final drug in the early stages of clinical evaluation for treatment of visceral leishmaniasis is the oral 8-aminoquinolone, WR 6026 36 ; . Toxoplasmosis Toxoplasma gondii is a worldwide zoonotic pathogen whose definitive host is the cat. Secondary hosts include humans and a broad range of herbivorous and carnivorous mammals that can acquire toxoplasmosis directly by ingestion of fecal oocysts shed by infected cats or, indirectly, by ingestion of cyst-containing meat. In addition, transmission of T. gondii to humans can occur by congenital passage of organisms, organ transplantation, blood transfusion, and laboratory accident self-inoculation ; 22 ; . After the acute phase of infection, infected humans have tissues cysts 10 to 200 m in diameter, most frequently located in the myocardium, skeletal muscle, and CNS. Reactivation of chronic infection from latent cysts occurs almost exclusively in patients with severe, underlying immunosuppression. In immunocompetent adults, only 10 to 20% of acute Toxoplasma infections are symptomatic. However, congenitally infected neonates and immunodeficient hosts with acute or reactivation disease may have severe multiorgan involvement affecting the brain, heart, liver, lungs, and eyes. In patients with AIDS, toxoplasmic encephalitis is one of the most frequent CNS infections, affecting 3 to 10% of AIDS patients in the United States and 25 to 50% of AIDS patients in Europe, Africa, and Haiti; it usually occurs when the CD4 lymphocyte count falls below 100 mm3 83 ; . The primary drugs used for treatment of toxoplasmosis are pyrimethamine, sulfadiazine, and clindamycin. History of chemotherapy. In 1955, sulfonamides were first used alone and in combination with pyrimethamine to treat experimental murine toxoplasmosis. In subsequent animal studies, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole was shown to be less effective than pyrimethamine-sulfonamide 54 ; . In the 1980s, the macrolide antibiotics clindamycin and spiramycin were commonly used in mild cases of toxoplasmosis. However, with the increasing number of AIDS- and immunosuppression-related infections, pyrimethamine in combination with either sulfadiazine or clindamycin is now the regimen of choice. Although these combinations are considered synergistic, pyrimethamine as sole therapy compared with pyrimethaminesulfadiazine or pyrimethamine-clindamycin has never been studied in a controlled, prospective fashion. Other drugs recently used for toxoplasmosis are atovaquone, trimetrexate, dapsone, azithromycin, and clarithromycin. Mechanisms of drug action. Of the folate antagonists, sulfadiazine and dapsone inhibit dihydropteroate synthetase and pyrimethamine and trimetrexate inhibit dihydrofolate reductase, thereby killing or inhibiting extracellular forms of T. gondii. Although clindamycin exerts antibacterial effects by inhibition of protein synthesis 74 ; , the mechanism of action of clindamycin and other macrolides clarithromycin, azithromycin, and roxithromycin ; against T. gondii is unknown. Atovaquone, a hydroxynaphthoquinone, is thought to interfere with electron transport and pyrimidine synthesis. With the possible exception of atovaquone and azithromycin, no antimicrobial agent has been effective against the tissue cyst form of T. gondii 11, 65 ; . Current treatment and prophylaxis. Immunocompetent hosts with acute acquired toxoplasmosis rarely require treat.
This is very important when an antidepressant medicine is first started or when the dose is changed.

Azithromycin veterinary

88 Benedicto J P Otitis Media Based on the results, a good clinical outcome resulted with the use of azithromycin using the prescribed regimen for otitis media, initially, 92% of patients had at least moderately severe findings but after treatment, at least 95% responded favorably. , Infants and children are the most commonly affected age group with AOM. The pathogens most commonly cultured from aspirates in this age group with AOM are S. pneumoniae, - , in luenzae, and oraxella catarrhalis? Given that otitis media is a closed space infection, targeted drug delivery may enhance the potential for bacterial cure. A lot of multicenter trials have compared the efficacy of azithromycin as against commonly used drugs for this disease entity like amoxycillin, amoxycillinclavulanic acid, clarithromycin, and cefaclor using their standard regimens. 1'16a7These had consistently shown the superiority of azithromycin over amoxycillin and no statistically significant differences were documented in terms of clinical success rates versus the other compara tor drugs. Again, the three-day regimen offered a lot of advantages especially in the ease of administering the drug in the pediatric population. : LRTI CAP and Acute Bronchitis ; : Community acquired pneumonia, acute bronchitis, and acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis AECB ; comprised the lower respiratory tract infections encountered in this study. These were more common among the adult population. Good clinical outcomes cure or improvement ; were reported with the use of azithromycin, Various local and international : guidelines have repeatedly emphasized that initial treatment of these conditions remain empiric with due consideration of the most likely causative agents like S. pneumoniae, H. influenzae, and the atypical organisms like Aqycoplasma pneurnoniae, C. pneumoniae, and Legionella spp which account for 2225% of cases? '4'18 The costs associated with treatment of these conditions are likewise high necessitating prompt and appropriate choice in terms of antibiotics. 19 Oncedaily oral dosing with azithromycin yields elevated and sustained drug concentrations in respiratory tract tissue and fluids, The role of azithromycin in the treatment of adult and pediatric CAP cases was proven with a lot of well-designed trials versus standard doses of clarithromycin, amoxycillin clavulanic acid, and erythromycin. 2'21 The results were quite consistent in terms of the overall safety and tolerability of this drug and comparable efficacy compared to these other antibiotics. In fact, a meta-analysis of randomized, controlled trials suggested that oral azithromycin may be more effective than various comparator agents and was as well tolerated. 22 For patients needing hospitalization, the addition of macrolide to p-lactam therapy for CAP, and the early use of this agent, were associated with reductions in the mortality rate and the length of hospital stay. One of the most recent concensus on CAP was provided by the Antibiotic Selection for CAP ASCAP ; Panel in March 2003. TM The report provided relevant statements for outcome-effective and evidence-based patient management for CAP. After an extensive review of literature, they recommended the use of azithromycin as the first-line antibiotic of choice for the out-patient management of this infection. They also emphasized the addition of this drug once patients were deemed for hospital-based management. The nature of the pathogens varied according to the severity of the underlying lung condition in AECB? 3 In patients with mild to moderately severe chronic bronchitis, H. inr7uenzae and 14, catarrhalis tend to be the most common isolated organisms while in those who have a more severe lung disease, gram negative pathogens like Pseudomonastend to predominate. A meta-analysis of randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trials examined the impact of antibiotic therapy in patients with AECBs? 4 The analysis showed a small, but statistically significant improvement due to antibiotic therapy. Agents like amoxycillin-clavulanic acid, ciprofloxacin, and azithromycin proved more cost-effective due to the significantly shorter duration of treatment, significant number of exacerbation-free days, and a significant reduction in the frequency of hospitalization. Subsequent studies showed that azithromycin was a least as effective as these mentioned antimicrobial agents and when cornpared to clarithromycin and levofloxacin for the treatment of AECBs. 2 In addition, the short-duration, once daily treatment was well tolerated, with a low incidence of treatment discontinuations.
