Three-Weekly Doses of Azithromycin for Indigenous Infants Hospitalized with Bronchiolitis: A Multicentre, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial

[摘要] BackgroundBronchiolitis is a major health burden in infants globally, particularly among Indigenous populations. It is unknown if 3 weeks of azithromycin improve clinical outcomes beyond the hospitalization period. In an international, double-blind randomized controlled trial, we determined if 3 weeks of azithromycin improved clinical outcomes in Indigenous infants hospitalized with bronchiolitis.
