OBJECTIVE
We sought to evaluate gatifloxacin in adults with acute uncomplicated bacterial rhinosinusitis.
METHODS
TeqCES was an open-label, multicenter, noncomparative study of the safety and efficacy of gatifloxacin. More than 11,000 adult patients with acute uncomplicated rhinosinusitis received
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of sparfloxacin in the treatment of patients with acute bacterial maxillary sinusitis, the microbiologic etiology of which was determined by maxillary sinus puncture.
METHODS
Two hundred fifty-three patients enrolled in the open, noncomparative trial
BACKGROUND
Patients with intracranial complications of sinusitis present a major challenge to all, physicians, otorhinolaryngologists and neurosurgeons, because the purulent collection can be in areas that are not easily accessible like the interhemispheric and subfrontal areas of the brain and
Approximately 0.5-2% of upper viral infections are com-licated by secondary acute bacterial sinusitis and may in rare cases evolve into more serious complications such as meningitis and intracranial abscess. Symptoms are often subtle and nonspecific as fever, headache, scalp tenderness, nausea and
Accurate and complete safety data are indispensable for the proper evaluation of the benefit-to-harm ratio of medical interventions. We evaluated whether a systematic review and meta-analysis of standardized safety data is feasible by requesting information on side effects directly from the
The effects of low-dose macrolide (LDM) therapy on pediatric chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) patients are unknown. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of LDM for treating pediatric refractory CRS. A retrospective study was conducted by a medical chart review. Pediatric CRS patients (age <15
BACKGROUND
Garenoxacin is a des-F(6)-quinolone with in vitro activity against key respiratory pathogens, including Streptococcus pneumoniae, Hemophilus influenzae, Staphylococcus aureus, and Moraxella catarrhalis. Limited data are available regarding the effect of garenoxacin in the treatment of
BACKGROUND
Penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae (PRSP) has become a relatively common pathogen in upper and lower respiratory tract infections, including acute bacterial sinusitis (ABS).
OBJECTIVE
The goal of this analysis was to assess the efficacy and tolerability of moxifloxacin in the
In a primary care setting, the efficacy and safety of ciprofloxacin (CIP) 500 mg b.i.d. were compared with those of cefuroxime axetil (CA) 250 mg b.i.d., each given for 10 days, in a nationwide, open, prospective, randomized trial of 1414 adults with acute sinusitis. Patients were enrolled if they
In this multicentre, multinational, comparative, double-blind clinical trial, outpatients with both clinical signs and symptoms and radiographic evidence of acute sinusitis were randomly assigned to receive for 7 days either a twice-daily oral regimen of faropenem daloxate (300 mg) or a twice daily
The objective of the study was to compare the clinical efficacy and bacteriological response of levofloxacin and amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (co-amoxiclav) in the treatment of purulent maxillary sinusitis. Sixty patients randomly received either levofloxacin 300 mg orally once daily (LEV group) or
BACKGROUND
Treatment guidelines for acute bacterial sinusitis recommend 10 to 14 days of therapy with amoxicillin/clavulanate, high-dose amoxicillin, cefpodoxime, cefuroxime, or a newer fluoroquinolone.
OBJECTIVE
This study compared the clinical efficacy of short-course (5-day) gatifloxacin with
The bacteriological and clinical efficacy and the safety of gatifloxacin for the treatment of non-complicated acute rhinosinusitis was evaluated in 49 adult patients in an open-label multicenter study in Brazil. Patients under age 18, or with associated systemic diseases, were excluded. Diagnosis
In this comparative trial, outpatients with acute sinusitis were randomly assigned to receive levofloxacin (500 mg orally once daily) or amoxicillin-clavulanate (500/125 mg orally 3 times daily) for 10 to 14 days. The success rates (cured and improved) 2 to 5 days after the end of treatment were
BACKGROUND
Telithromycin, a new ketolide, exhibits potent activity against respiratory pathogens, including resistant strains.
METHODS
Five days of telithromycin (800 mg once daily) was compared with 10 days of cefuroxime axetil (250 mg twice daily) in subjects (n = 593) with acute bacterial
