The Clinical Observation of the Levofloxacin Treated the Community-acquired Pneumonia in the Aged
Abstract
Objective To study the clinical effection of the levofloxacin treated the community-acquired pneumonia in the aged.Methods Divided the 132 elderly patients with community-acquired pneumonia randomly into two groups,The treatment group,68 cases treated with levofloxacin injection,200 mg every time,twice a day,intravenous;the control group,64 cases trated with azithromycin injection,500 mg every time,once a day,intravenous,the two groups both were treated for 1 ～2 weeks.Observed the clinical efficacy,bacteriological changes and adverse reactions before and after the treatment.Results The total effective rate and the adverse reactions in the treatment group and control group was 86.8%,73.4% and 1.5%,12.5%,P 0.05,the statistical significance was obvious.The clearance rate in the two groups of Streptococcus pneumoniae and atypical pathogens inof was statistical significance,P0.05.Conclusion The levofloxacin in the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia in the elderly is high efficacy,safety,good,worthy of clinical application.
