Abstract
In this double-blind study of 60 infants with undifferentiated respiratory diseases, antibiotics seemed of no benefit in shorten ing the median duration of illness or in preventing secondary complications. The conclusion is drawn that the danger of complications from the antibiotics them selves is greater than the good which many physicians believe that antibiotics produce in such diseases.Keywords
