Summary
The intravenous (IV) regimen containing azithromycin (Zithromax) plus ampicillin-sulbactam is
consistent with current guidelines for the treatment of CAP. In fact the International
guidelines for the treatment of CAP in hospitalised patients suggests the use of a
combination between a b-lactam and a macrolide.
This trial will allow investigators to evaluate the efficacy of azithromycin plus
ampicillin-sulbactam in the treatment of hospitalized subjects with community acquired
pneumonia. In addition, this trial will allow investigators to evaluate the safety and
toleration of combination therapy.
