Antibiotico dimezza la mortalità infantile L'Oms in Etiopia: il tracoma può essere debellato con l'azitromicina 8 settembre 2009 - In Etiopia si combatte il tracoma, una grave malattia oculare causata da un batterio, a colpi di antibiotico (l'azitromicina). Questa strategia fa parte di un programma dell'Organizzazione mondiale della sanità che ha come obiettivo generale la prevenzione della cecità. Nelle comunità dove si è somministrato il farmaco a bambini da uno a nove anni la mortalità infantile si è dimezzata: il farmaco può essere efficace anche contro le malattie respiratorie, la diarrea e la malaria. Lo studio, pubblicato sul Journal of the American Medical Association, è stato condotto su 48 comunità e ha previsto una somministrazione di massa per un anno (da maggio 2006 a maggio 2007). L'antibiotico è stato somministrato per via orale in una sola dose a 14.716 bambini: la mortalità si è ridotta dall'8,3 al 4,1 per mille. Fonte: JAMA
