Abstract: Objective Comparison of the effects of erythromycin or azithromycin in the treatment of children bronchial pneumonia.Methods 87 cases of bronchial pneumonia were randomly divided into two groups.The observation group had 46 cases treated with azithromycin.The control group had 41 cases treated with erythromycin.The clinical curative effect and adverse reaction of two groups were compared.Results Total effective rate in the observation group(93.5％) was significantly higher than that of the control group (60.9％) (x2 =13.42,P ＜ 0.01) ; the incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group (10.9％) was significantly lower than that of the control group (60.9％) (x2 =24.09,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion The curative effect of azithromycin is better than erythromycin on children bronchial pneumonia,and less adverse reaction.
