Randomized Controlled Trial
Amoxicillin for 3 or 5 Days for Chest-Indrawing Pneumonia in Malawian Children.
Evidence regarding the appropriate duration of treatment with antibiotic agents in children with pneumonia in low-resource settings in Africa is lacking. ⋯ In HIV-uninfected Malawian children, treatment with amoxicillin for chest-indrawing pneumonia for 3 days was noninferior to treatment for 5 days.
