Abstract

Roxithromycin was used for treating 14 patients at the pulmonological department including 5 patients with the acute bronchitis, 7 — with the chronic bronchitis, 2 — with the pneumonia. The accompanying diseases (chronic tonsillitis and pulmonary emphysema) were diagnosed for 7 patients. Roxythromycin was prescribed as an antibiotic of choice for 6 patients and as a reserve antibiotic for 8 patients. The patients were examined and observed in accordance with the standard program. The following results were obtained for the patients with the chronic obstructive bronchitis when Roxythromycin was prescribed as a reserve antibiotic: effective treatment (11 patients) (cupping of inflammatory processes); the incomplete efficacy (2 patients) and the absence of effect (1 patient).
