	Cefaclor AF vs Clarithromycin in Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Bronchitis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Eight patients of the cefaclor group and 14 patients of clarithromycin group, did not complete the study protocol and thus the evaluable patients were 136 and 142 in the cefaclor and clarithromycin groups respectively making a total of 278 evaluable patients.
		In the cefaclor group, 108 patients were exposed to smoke (51 to cigarette, 31 to hukka/cigar and 26 to wood/charcoal) where as 106 patients were exposed to smoke in the clarithromycin group (54 to cigarette, 25 to hukka/cigar and 27 to wood/ charcoal).
		The clinical efficacy of both the drugs was comparable and the bacteriological response was comparable to the clinical response with an eradication rate of 76% for cefaclor and 70% for the clarithromycin group although the bacteriological response was observed to be slightly less as compared to the clinical response.
