Study code: 04-3100b Extension of 04-3100 ; Study Phase: III Country: USA 29 sites ; Study design: Multi-centre, randomized, active-controlled, parallel-group Objective: to assess the long-term safety of the lowest individual maintenance dose of BUD NEB when administered for a period of up to one year as compared to conventional asthma therapy in paediatric asthmatic patients aged six months to eight years Study and control drugs: BUD NEB: 0-1.0 mg QD, Control group: Conventional asthma therapy including ICSs ; Duration: 52 weeks 11 95-06 97 ; Primary endpoints: Mainly safety e.g. AEs, HPA-axis function, skeletal age ; No. of randomised patients: N 307 Mean age: 4.0 years 0.5-8 years ; Inclusion criteria: Successful completion of 04-3100, or discontinued from 04-3069 because of need for oral corticosteroids for worsening asthma Results: Safety: There were no significant effects on basal and post-ACTH-stimulated plasma cortisol levels between active treatment groups and conventional therapy. There were no clinical signs of HPA-axis suppression. There were no deaths during the study; there were 33 SAEs in 28 patients 11 SAEs in 11 patients 11% ; in the conventional treatment group, and 22 SAEs in 17 patients 8% ; in the budesonide treatment group ; . One patient discontinued from the BUD NEB group due to an AE unusual behaviour in a patient with attention deficit disorder ; . After adjusting for the length of the study, there were no clinically relevant differences in the type, incidence, severity or clinical significance of AEs compared to conventional asthma therapy, and differences in vital signs, or physical examination. There were no differences in growth velocities between groups assessed by stadiometry mean growth velocities were 6.96 cm yr and 6.21 cm yr in the budesonide and in the conventional treatment groups, respectively ; . The assessments to determine the possible effects of study treatment on skeletal growth determined by external and internal medullary cavity ; diameters, and the cortical thickness of the midshaft of the second metacarpal from left hand x-rays ; showed no significant differences between Pulmicort nebuliser and conventional asthma therapy in the mean differences between observed skeletal age and chronological age over one year of treatment, for instance, ampicillin heat.

Georgiladakis, G. Samonis, Y. Tselentis Heraklion, Crete, GR ; Objective: The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of bacterial pathogens associated with diarrhoea on the island of Crete, Greece, and their resistance to commonly used antimicrobial agents. Methods: From January 1999 to December 2003, stool samples from 6.814 diarrhoeal patients were examined for bacterial pathogens. Cultures and identification of the isolates were done using standard microbiological methods. Susceptibility testing to antibiotics was performed by using the disc diffusion method following the recommendations of the NCCLS. Results: Bacterial pathogens were identified in 681 10% ; patients. Salmonella enterica were the most commonly isolated bacteria 58.7% ; , followed by Campylobacter spp. 29.7% ; , enteropathogenic Escherichia coli EPEC ; 4.4% ; and Yersinia enterocolitica 4.1% ; . Aeromonas spp. 1.6% ; and Shigella spp. 1.5% ; , were less frequently isolated. Resistance to ampicillin was observed in 10.7% of the Salmonella, 50% of the Shigella, and 33.3% of the EPEC isolates. Resistance to cotrimoxazole was observed in 4% of the Salmonella, 50% of the Shigella, and 16.7% of the EPEC isolates. High percentages of resistance to fluoroquinolones 37% ; , were detected among Campylobacter isolates, while resistance to erythromycin was observed in 14.4% of them. Conclusion: The knowledge of the bacterial agents of diarrhoea and their local patterns of antimicrobial resistance are of utmost importance for the selection of the appropriate treatment and atorvastatin.

Prior studies do not address racial and ethnic disparities in essential new drug use and whether disparities decrease through time. Using the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey 19962001 ; , racial and ethnic disparities were examined separately by comparing non-Hispanic whites to non-Hispanic blacks and Hispanic whites, respectively. New drugs were defined as approved within the past 5 years, and an expert panel identified essential drugs. Negative binomial models adjusted for socioeconomic and health characteristics. The mean annual number of times essential new drugs were obtained among non-Hispanic whites, non-Hispanic blacks, and Hispanic whites were 1.02, 0.94, and 0.70, respectively. After adjusting for confounders, ethnic disparities generally were not significant, but racial disparities became significant. This study did not identify declining disparities during early years of drugs' life cycles. Disparities exist in new, essential drug acquisition between non-Hispanic whites and, for example, ammpicillin sensitivity.

The study is part of a run of bad news recently about the hormones routinely taken by millions of women after menopause. Some previous studies suggested tumors might be less aggressive in hormone users; other studies indicated the opposite. Previous research also suggested that hormones might make breast tissue denser, hindering the detection of tumors. To try to answer the questions more definitively, the researchers took a closer look at data from the government's landmark Women's Health Initiative study, which was halted last summer after it was found that estrogen-progestin pills raise the risk of heart attack, strokes and breast cancer. The findings appear in Wednesday's Journal of the American Medical Association. View Article and azithromycin.

George Garratty and Patricia A. Arndt A high incidence 39% ; of positive direct antiglobulin tests DATs ; has been reported in patients taking Unasyn [ampicillin sodium plus sulbactam sodium a beta-lactamase inhibitor ; ]. Three of four patients, with positive DATs, receiving Unasyn or Timentin [ticarcillin disodium plus clavulanate potassium also a betalactamase inhibitor ; ] developed a hemolytic anemia HA ; associated with a positive DAT, which resolved when drug therapy was stopped. The patients' sera did not react with red blood cells RBCs ; in the presence of Unasyn or Timentin, but when drugtreated RBCs were tested, patients' sera and normal sera reacted equally by indirect antiglobulin test. Following incubation in normal sera, RBCs treated with Unasyn, Timentin, Augmentin amoxicillin and azulfidine.
Comorbid illness, a fluoroquinolone may be a better choice. A fluoroquinolone with good antipneumococcal activity such as levofloxacin or moxifloxacin is generally used for adults with comorbidities or antibiotic exposure during the prior 90 days.31 Nationally, less than 1% of pneumococcal isolates are resistant to fluoroquinolones, but in some urban centers the percentage is higher.32, 33 In community-acquired pneumonia requiring hospitalization, a beta-lactam such as ceftriaxone or cefotaxime ; plus a macrolide erythromycin, azithromycin or clarithromycin ; , or a fluoroquinolone with good activity against S. pneumoniae levofloxacin or moxifloxacin ; is recommended pending culture results.31, 34 If aspiration pneumonia is suspected, metronidazole or clindamycin can be added. Moxifloxacin or ampicillin-sulbactam, which also have anaerobic activity, are reasonable alternatives. In treating pneumococcal pneumonia due to strains with intermediate degrees of penicillin resistance minimal inhibitory concentration [MIC] 1 mcg mL ; , ceftriaxone, cefotaxime, or high doses of either IV penicillin 12 million units daily for adults ; or oral amoxicillin 1-3 g daily ; can be used. For highly resistant strains MIC 2 mcg mL ; , a fluoroquinolone levofloxacin or moxifloxacin ; , vancomycin or linezolid may be required, and should be added in severely ill patients such as those requiring admission to an ICU ; and those not responding to a beta-lactam. Hospital-acquired HAP ; nosocomial ; or ventilator associated pneumonia VAP ; is often caused by gram-negative bacilli, especially P. aeruginosa, Klebsiella spp., E. coli, Enterobacter spp., Serratia spp., and Acinetobacter spp.; it can also be caused by S. aureus. Many of these bacteria are multidrug resistant MDR ; , particularly when disease onset is after a long hospital admission with prior antibacterial therapy, and further resistance can emerge on treatment. Pneumonia with S. aureus, particularly methicillinresistant strains, is also more common in patients with diabetes mellitus, head trauma, or intensive care unit admission. HAP due to Legionella species can also occur, usually in immunocompromised patients.35 In the absence of risk factors for MDR organisms, initial empiric therapy for HAP can be limited to one antibiotic, such as ceftriaxone, a fluoroquinolone, ampicillin sulbactam, or a carbapenem. In other patients, however, particularly those who are severely ill or in an ICU, broader-spectrum coverage with an agent with antipseudomonal activity such as piperacillin tazobactam, cefepime, imipenem or meropenem, combined with either an aminoglycoside tobramycin, gentamicin or amikacin ; or a fluoroquinolone with antipseudomonal activity ciprofloxacin or levofloxacin ; is a reasonable choice. Addition of vancomycin or linezolid should be considered in hospitals where MRSA are common. Some multidrug resistant gram-negative bacteria causing HAP, such as Acinetobacter spp; may be susceptible to colistin polymixin B ; or tigecycline; some Acinetobacter strains are also sensitive to sulbactam. INFECTIONS OF THE GENITOURINARY TRACT URINARY TRACT INFECTION UTI ; -- E. coli causes the majority of uncomplicated cystitis. Staphylococcus saprophyticus is the second most common pathogen, and the remaining cases are due to Proteus spp. and other gram-negative rods.36 Fluoroquinolones especially ciprofloxacin ; have become the most common class of antibiotic prescribed for UTI.37 Due to concerns about cost-effectiveness and emerging fluoroquinolone resistance, however, Medical Letter consultants advise against routine use of fluoroquinolones for acute uncomplicated cystitis.38 Acute uncomplicated cystitis in women can be effectively and inexpensively treated, before the infecting organism is known, with a three-day course of oral trimethroprim sulfamethoxazole. In areas where the prevalence of E. coli resistant to trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole exceeds 15% to 20%, or in women with risk factors for resistance, a 3-day course of a fluoroquinolone ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin or ofloxacin ; or a 7-day course of nitrofurantoin could be substituted.39 Other alternatives include a single dose of fosfomycin. Based on the results of susceptibility testing, nitrofurantoin, amoxicillin or a cephalosporin can be given for 7 days to treat UTIs in pregnant women40, but nitrofurantoin should not be given near term or during labor or delivery because it can cause hemolytic anemia in the newborn. Acute uncomplicated pyelonephritis can often be managed with a 7-day course of an oral fluoroquinolone.41 Complicated UTIs that recur after treatment, occur in patients with indwelling urinary catheters, or are acquired in hospitals or nursing homes, are more likely to be due to antibiotic-resistant gram-negative bacilli, S. aureus or enterococci. A fluoroquinolone, oral amoxicillin clavulanate or an oral third-generation cephalosporin such as cefpodoxime, cefdinir, ceftibuten or cefixime can be useful in treating such infections in outpatients. In hospitalized patients with and bromocriptine.

Suspected uncomplicated typhoid fever could consist of chloramphenicol, cotrimoxazole, or amoxicillin. As has been previously observed, nontyphoidal Salmonellae showed higher resistance rates to chloramphenicol 16%, ampicillin 24%, cotrimoxazole 14% and ciprofloxacin 4% compared to rates for S. typhi. These rates were higher than those of 2001 especially for ampicillin where the resistance rate increased to 24% from 15% in 2001 and chloramphenicol from 11% to 16%. The rates slightly decreased for cotrimoxazole from 15% to 14% and ciprofloxacin from 5% to 4%. The continued presence of ciprofloxacin resistance is of particular concern. The most common nontyphoidal Salmonella serotypes identified were Salmonella ser Weltevreden 24 isolates ; , Salmonella ser Enteritidis 7 isolates ; and Salmonella ser typhimurium 6 isolates ; . No Salmonella serotype was more associated with a particular region of the country. No serotype was associated with ciprofloxacin resistance. The resistance rate of Shigella to the drug of choice cotrimoxazole was 73%, which was significantly higher than the figure of 56% in 2001 whereas that for nalidixic acid, the alternative drug, was 0%. Among the regional sentinel sites, data on Shigella only came from DMC, which consisted of 1 isolate. The isolate from DMC was not cotrimoxazole resistant. Resistance rates of V. Cholera 01 to tetracycline, chloramphenicol, and cotrimoxazole were 1%, 2%, and 36%, respectively which were almost the same as those 2001 figures except for co-trimoxazole where there was a marked increase from a figure of 11% in 2001. There was hardly any tetracycline resistance reported among the cholera isolates in Metro Manila and all regional sentinel sites. There were 4 tetracycline resistant V. cholera from Metro Manila sentinel sites, namely: RMC 2 and PGH 2. None of the tetracycline resistant isolates were referred to RTM for confirmation. ARI pathogens Among the respiratory and invasive isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae 6%, 9%, and 3% were resistant to penicillin as determined by screening with 1 ug oxacillin disk ; , cotrimoxazole, and chloramphenicol, respectively. The extent of resistance to all three drugs was slightly lower than those of 2001 where it was 9% for penicillin, 10% for cotrimoxazole and 3% for chloramphenicol. Majority of penicillin resistant isolates were reported by DMC 5 isolates, GMH 5 and EVR 5. DMC and GMH were also the same sentinel sites reporting the most number of penicillin-resistant pneumococci in 2001. Ten 38% ; of the 26 penicillin resistant isolates referred, 8 were viable; 7 88% ; were penicillin sensitive and 1 12% ; intermediate, with no confirmed penicillin resistant strain. Of the regional sentinel sites, BGH, DMC, EVR, MMH, VSM AND ZMC seemed to have high resistance rates to penicillin by disc diffusion but none of these isolates were confirmed to be resistant by MIC. In some sentinel sites, the number of isolates tested were too small to be able to draw significant conclusions. Among the 85 isolates of Haemophilus influenzae at RTM & GMH, 11%, 5%, and 5% of the isolates were resistant to cotrimoxazole, ampicillin and chloramphenicol, respectively. These were lower for cotrimoxazole & ampicillin whose resistance rates were 16% and 6% respectively in 2001 but higher for chloramphenicol where there was no resistance in 2001.
