Abstract

Background: According to WHO guidelines, PENICILLIN can be used as an impirical therapy in BACTERIAL PNEUMONIA but no investigation has been conducted in this regard in Iran. Objective: To determine the efficacy of PENICILLIN in normal 1 to 6 year old CHILDREN with community-acquired pneumonia. Methods: A prospective study was conducted in 68 CHILDREN with the age range of 1 to 6 with BACTERIAL PNEUMONIA (diagnosis based on clinical symptoms, chest X-ray and laboratory findings) who were admitted in the pediatric wards of Al-zahra and Shariati hospitals of Isfahan from oct. 1997 till Oct. 1998. All patients received PENICILLIN crystall. The criteria for response were decreased fever, respiratory symptoms and C-reactive protein during 72 hours. The results were analyzed based on the expected percent of responses. Findings: Of 68 cases enrolled, 55 patients (80.9%) showed a satisfactory clinical response during 72 hours. The prevalence of response was between 2 to 4 yr old cases (90%) and less between 4 to 6yr old (78.6%). According of statistical analysis, there was not a significant difference between the expected percent of TREATMENT (85%) and response rate (80.9%) in this study. Conclusion: PENICILLIN can be used for community -acquired pneumonia in normal CHILDREN for first line therapy.
