title: [Amoxicillin-clavulanic acid combination in bacterial infections of the upper respiratory tract in childhood. Controlled clinical study].
abstract: A comparative clinical trial of amoxycillin - clavulanic acid combination versus erythromycin was carried out in a case series of 20 pediatric patients, suffering from upper respiratory tract infections with a proven bacterial etiology and different localization (tonsils, nasal and paranasal sinuses and ear). The results have confirmed the highly innovative efficacy of amoxycillin - clavulanic acid combination: the clinical judgement was in fact favourable, with eradication of the pathogenic agent in 90% of cases. The tolerability of the combination was globally good from both the general and local point of view.
