Study Protocol
Baseline Characteristic
Diagnostic Criteria
Based on presence of at least two major
diagnostic factors or one major and two minor
factors
Antimicrobial therapy and
Assessment
Patients were recruited to study protocol
and randomizid into three groups ( of
ten patient each) as under :
Group 1 : Patients on oral amoxicilin
500mg TDS for 10 days
Group 2 : Patients on oral azithromycin
500mg OD for 5 days
Group 3 : Patients on oral gatifloxacin
400mg OD for 10 days
Evaluation of Efficacy
Efficacy evaluation included assesment of
clinical signs and symptoms, overall clinical
response rating and radiographic findings
waters view before and after drug
treatment as primary end point and after
28 days as secondary end point.
Observation and Result
Conclusions
Gatifloxacin was found to be most effective
drug both in term of improvement in signs and
symptom on visual analogue scale and
radiographic scoring. It was associated with
least adverse events in comparison to rest of
three drugs under study.
Azithromycin was the second safest drug
associated with less adverse effects.
