Analysis of two studies done in Pakistan and their pooled results given with 95% CIs. Straus et al63 showed a significant difference in the proportion of children with severe pneumonia who were treatment failures from 33% failing co-trimoxazole to 18% failing amoxicillin. The CATCHUP group66 showed 19% of children failing co-trimoxazole and 16% failing amoxicillin.
