Abstract:
Objective: To observe the efficacy of azithromycin in treating the bacterial infectious diseases. Methods: Intravenous administration of azithromycin was carried out in 40 cases. Results: The clinical cure rate and eradication rate were 85.0% and 84.8%, respectively. Drug sensitivity tests showed that more isolates were sensitive to azithromycin (87.9%) than to erythromycin (42.4%). The MIC of azithromycin was lower than that of erythromycin. In addition, the adverse effects occurred with low frequency and were usually mild. Conclusion: Azithromycin is effective and safe in treating bacterial infectious diseases.
