You are also in dilemma because you would not rush to a chest X-ray .
Use of dual therapy Amoxil 1G TDS for 5days and. Azithyomycin 1G daily for 5Days would hopefully reduce fetal risk .

Thx Ian!!

Thanks for the great episode!
I was wondering, for high risk adults, what does the addition of a beta lactam antibiotic provide vs just using Doxycycline alone? It seems that Doxycycline covers the typical pathogens for CAP as well as atypicals, so why not do this alone? Thanks so much!

Mike W., MD -

From Rick Pescatore: Additional coverage is warranted due to increased likelihood of infection with multi drug-resistant organisms, particularly resistant pneumococcus
