BACKGROUND: The World Health Organization recommends hospitalization and injectable antibiotic treatment for young infants (0-59 days old), who present with signs of possible serious bacterial infection. Fast breathing alone is not associated with a high mortality risk for young infants and has been treated with oral antibiotics in some settings. This trial was designed to examine the safety and efficacy of oral amoxicillin for young infants with fast breathing compared with that of an injectable penicillin-gentamicin combination. The study is currently being conducted in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya and Nigeria. METHODS/DESIGN: This is a randomized, open-label equivalence trial. All births in the community are visited at home by...
