Abstract

The clinical efficacy of using «protected» aminopenicillins (amoxicillin/clavulanate, amoxicillin/sulbactam) and the 3rd generation cephalosporins in the treatment of mild community-acquired pneumonia in patients older than 60 years in hospital has been evaluated. Analyzed 71 case histories. The assessment was carried out on the basis of a comprehensive analysis of clinical, laboratory and radiological data. A comparative analysis of the clinical efficacy and safety of the antibiotic regimens under study demonstrated the obvious advantage of using «protected» aminopenicillins over the existing practice of treating non-severe community-acquired pneumonia in patients of older age groups.
