Brief Summary:
The aim of the study is to determine optimal management of isolated fast breathing in young infants in a trial design conducted in primary care settings.
The investigators hypothesized that proportion of infants who fail therapy will be 4% in each group. A 6% or less difference in failure rate will be considered equivalent.
Detailed Description:
The management of isolated fast breathing is therefore unknown and our experience suggests that these infants could perhaps be managed without antibiotics. Widespread application of the WHO clinical algorithm could therefore result in the referral of as many as 13.7% (135.7 per 1000 live births) of all infants for isolated fast breathing, the vast majority of these unnecessarily, and exposing infants to a high risk of nosocomial sepsis and hospital mortality in addition to over-burdening health resources.
