Abstract:
:Childhood pneumonia has been considered as a major cause of child morbidity and mortality worldwide. We aimed to investigate the effect of resveratral in synergizing with oral amoxicillin to improve the treatment outcome of oral amoxicillin administration against childhood fast breathing pneumonia. 647 children diagnosed fast breathing pneumonia were recruited and randomized to receive oral amoxicillin plus either resveratrol (AX + RV) or placebo (AX + placebo). The primary outcome was defined as treatment failure up to day 3, while the secondary outcome was defined as treatment failure at day 6 and 12 upon follow up. Incidences of treatment failure up to day 3 was significantly lower in the AX + RV group than the AX + placebo group. From day 6-12, the incidences of treatment failure were increased in both treatment groups. However, treatment failure cases were still much lower in the AX + RV group on both revisits. No serious adverse reaction to treatment drugs were found in either of the two groups. Resveratrol improves efficacy of oral amoxicillin against childhood fast breathing pneumonia, supporting the clincial potential of reseveratrol as a potent adjuvent of oral amoxicillin in the treatment of childhood pneumonia with no adverse effects.
