In the patients for whom treatment was stated, those given a macrolide or doxycycline showed improvement or resolution of their disease; and those given penicillin developed chronic fatigue or died.
In the United States, 24 million people have asthma, and the incidence is increasing. The onset of asthma is often preceded by ear infections, bronchitis, and pneumonia. Amoxicillin is the most widely prescribed antibiotic in the United States, and considered first-line treatment for acute respiratory infections. When penicillin drugs are used to treat intracellular chlamydia pneumonia, penicillin destroys the cell wall but not the pathogen; the chlamydia reticulate body changes shape, becomes larger, and makes more infectious elementary bodies; and…..
