Abstract:
A study was carried out in pediatric patients with severe and very severe pneumonia in the pediatric department of Bach Mai hospital during 8/1994 – 3/1998. The children were divided in to 2 groups: Group I: Pneumonia due to the antibiotic resistance microbial. Group II: Pneumonia due to the antibiotic sensitivity microbial, the body temperature, breathing rhythm and number of leukocyte in the peripheral blood patients received penicillin + gentamicin; cephalosporin; penicillin; and chlorainphenicol. The results have shown that after 3 – 5 days of treatment with penicillin + cephalosporine, the body temperature and breathing rhythm become the normal level, the number of leukocytes reduced 15%. In contrary, in patients received single penicillin or chloramphenicol, these parameters has not become to the normal level; the number of leukocyte reduced less than 15%.
