Abstract
Levofloxacin (levogyre form of ofloxacin) has been approved for the treatment of acute and chronic sinusitis, pneumonia, and exacerbation of bronchopulmonary diseases, urinary, digestive and biliary infections in adults. Its pharmacokinetic properties and microbiological spectrum, including penicillin non-susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae, suggest a potential interest in drug-resistant acute otitis media and community-acquired pneumonia. Only few studies have been performed in the paediatric population but they provided encouraging efficacy and safety data. Complementary data are needed before considering its use in Europe in the setting of a paediatric investigation plan.
