Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The WHO recommends oral amoxicillin for pneumonia with tachypnea, yet trial data show that withholding amoxicillin may be noninferior to using amoxicillin. In this double-blind trial, children 2 to 59 months of age in low-income communities in Pakistan were assigned to a 3-day course of placebo or amoxicillin. The noninferiority of placebo was not shown.
