AbstractA single blind prospective study was undertaken with 74 patients suffering from acute bronchitis, taken from general practice and one geriatric ward. Half were randomly allocated to treatment with 200 mg trimethoprim twice a day and the other half with 160 mg trimethoprim plus 800 mg sulphamethoxazole twice a day; both therapies were used for 7 days. We found little difference in the clinical or bacteriological responses to the different regimens although the higher concentration of trimethoprim in the single therapy gave a slightly more successful eradication of Haemophilus spp. Resistant bacteria appeared during and after therapy in a few cases but this was a greater problem with the sulphamethoxazole-containing preparation.
