Antibiotic Treatment of Recurrent Episodes of Asthma in Children — AB-studie

Childhood Asthma With Acute Exacerbation Clinical Trial

Official title:
Antibiotic Treatment of Recurrent Episode of Asthma in Children - a Randomised, Case-controlled Study Within the COPSAC2010 Cohort (Asthma Begins in Childhood)

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Copsac has discovered that asthmatic exacerbations are as closely linked to bacterial as to viral infection. The current study will examine whether treatment of asthmatic exacerbations with macrolide antibiotics - in the abscence of clear clinical bacterial infection which would in any case precipitate antibiotic treatment - has an effect on either the particular episode, or subsequently. Macrolide antibiotics are chosen for ease of administration ensuring high compliance, antibiotic appropriacy, and anti-inflammatory properties.
