Atherosclerosis can to a certain extent be regarded as an inflammatory disease. One of these studies enrolled patients with sepsis and ventilator-associated pneumonia; among 100 patients allocated to placebo treatment 40% survived until day 90; this was 57% among clarithromycin-treated patients.In recent publication coming from the research network of the Hellenic Sepsis Study Group (HSSG) 130 patients with CAP were treated with a combination of β-lactam and clarithromycin.

It forms the basis of the so-called response-to-injury hypothesis (Elevated levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), or interleukin-6 (IL-6) are associated with an increased risk of future myocardial infarction (Inflammatory markers such as IL-2R, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, and CRP can provide information about the mechanism of the inflammatory reaction associated with atherosclerosis. Contrary to azithromycin, clinical evidence suggests that clarithromycin is associated with substantial clinical benefit among critically ill patients.

This will be analyzed separately for patients with upper and with lower respiratory tract infection.Change of the serum levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) of enrolled patients between day 1 and day 8 (EOT VISIT); this is also analyzed separately for patients with upper and with lower respiratory tract infectionChange of the serum levels of interleukin-8 (IL-8) of enrolled patients between day 1 and day 8 (EOT VISIT); this is also analyzed separately for patients with upper and with lower respiratory tract infectionChange of the serum levels of human beta defensin-2 (hBD-2) of enrolled patients between day 1 and day 8 (EOT VISIT); this is also analyzed separately for patients with upper and with lower respiratory tract infectionChange of rhinopharynx levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) of enrolled patients between day 1, day 4 and day8 (EOT visit); this is also analyzed separately for patients with upper and with lower respiratory tract infectionChange of rhinopharynx levels of interleukin-1 (IL-1) of enrolled patients between day 1, day 4 and day8 (EOT visit); this is also analyzed separately for patients with upper and with lower respiratory tract infectionComparison of the Interleukin-10/Tumor Necrosis Factor α (IL-10/TNFα) ratio in enrolled patients at days 1 and 8; this is also analyzed separately for patients with upper and with lower respiratory tract infectionKeywords provided by Hellenic Institute for the Study of Sepsis: This is a clinical trial aiming to prove that addition of oral clarithromycin to treatment regimen of COVID-19 is associated with early clinical improvement and attenuation of the high inflammatory burden of the host. You have reached the maximum number of saved studies (100).Please remove one or more studies before adding more.Recent information appearing from different countries suggest that treatment of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) with hydroxychloroquine or with a combination of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin has either an indifferent effect on viral replication or substantial cardiotoxicity. In conclusion, several studies have demonstrated an anti-inflammatory effect of macrolides in vitro and in treatment of diseases involved with the bronchial epithelium (1, 3, 20). Levels of inflammatory markers (C-reactive protein, interleukin-2 receptor [IL-2R], IL-6, IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor alpha) were assessed during the preoperative outpatient visit, on the day of surgery, and 8 weeks after surgery. A total of 231 patients with documented coronary artery disease received a daily dose of either 500 mg of slow-release clarithromycin or placebo until the day of surgery.

Suddenly a certain proportion of these patients deteriorate into severe respiratory failure; this usually takes place between the 5th and the 10th day of illness and arrives without any preceding symptom. However, the clinical benefit coming from this study has not yet been published. This score is the sum of scoring for the symptoms of cough, dyspnea, purulent sputum expectoration and pleuritic chest pain.Patients who develop by day 8 severe respiratory failure do not meet the study primary endpoint.
