Abstract
I wish to commend Dr. Alvaro Navia-Monedero on his letter regarding the use of antibiotics in upper respiratory tract infections (Pediatrics 59:141, January 1977). Dr. Martin Hardy and I did a similar study in the 1950s1 and arrived at the same conclusion that antibiotics are of no value in the treatment of the uncomplicated upper respiratory tract infection. It is unfortunate that we see the use of antibiotics by our colleagues for this same benign condition.
