Abstract

In this prospective study, the safety and efficacy of claritromycine in treatment of acute otitis were studied. Thirty-nine patients aged between 6 months and 4 years were included in the study. All children received a single daily dose of 10 mg/kg claritromycine for three days. Clinical efficacy and safety were evaluated on day 10. Satisfactory response was obtained in 35 (89.7%) and acceptable response in two (5.1 %) patients. In two (5.1 %) patients, therapy was unsuccessful. No side effect to quit the therapy was observed. It is concluded that claritromycine could effectively be used in the treatment of acute otitis media in children.
