“…46 Clinicians should be cognisant that in some indigenous settings, parental reporting of cough is poor 47 and serial observations of the child over multiple clinic visits are often required to determine chronicity. PBB is characterised by intense airway neutrophilia (40-44%) and elevated markers of neutrophilic inflammation (IL-8, MMP-9) accompanying the bacteria infection with upregulation of innate immunity markers.…”

“…Without treatment, many children will have persistent symptoms for a long time. Based on the likely bacterial flora present, the most usual international recommendation for antibiotic treatment is amoxicillin-clavulanic acid (on exemption from registration), whose efficacy has been established in a randomised, placebo-controlled trial (18). Oral cephalosporins, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and macrolides may also be considered, but these are less favourable if the development of antibiotic resistance is to be avoided (1,6,11).…”
