    Abstract:
    A prospective study was conducted of 100 children under five who were treated at the outpatient and emergency services of the Robert Reid Cabral Hospital in Santo Domingo between August 1989 and May 1990 for acute respiratory infection (ARI). The objective was to evaluate the frequency of use of antibiotics in management of ARI. 51 of the children were under one year old. Among the infants under one year, 32 had mild, 15 had moderate, and 4 had severe cases. An antibiotic was prescribed in 35 of 59 cases of mild infection, 34 of 36 cases of moderate infection, and in all 5 cases of severe infection. The most frequently used antibiotic was penicillin, used in 28%, followed by amoxycillin in 17%, ampicillin in 14%, and erythromycin in 8%.
