ABSTRACT

Objective To compare the clinical effect of erythromycin and azithromycin in the treatment of mycoplasma pneumonia.Methods 120 children with mycoplasma pneumonia were randomly divided into study group and control group according to digital table method,60 cases in each group.The control group was treated with erythro-mycin,while the study group used azithromycin treatment.Clinical curative effect was compared between the two groups.Results The disappearing time of cough[(4.58 ±0.75 )d],fever[(4.75 ±1.74)d],pulmonary rales [(7.84 ±2.85)d]of the study group were significantly shorter than those in the control group[(4.58 ±0.75)d, (4.75 ±1.74)d,(7.84 ±2.85)d],and the differences were statistically significant (t =7.54,385,5.93,all P 0.05 ). Conclusion Mycoplasma pneumonia in children for early diagnosis and treatment of dry,use of azithromycin curative effect was better than that of erythromycin.It could effectively relieve patients of fever,and alleviate the clinical symptoms of cough,pulmonary rales.
