Acute cough alone should not be a guide symptom for antibiotic prescription
It is the conclusion of a GRACE study published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases
Acute uncomplicated lower-respiratory-tract infection is the most common acute illness managed in primary care in developed countries. Even in low-antibiotic-prescribing countries, most patients with these symptoms will receive antibiotics. The Lancet Infectious Diseases has published an article led by the GRACE consortium addressing this problem, with Dr. Antoni Torres among the authors.

Long-term use of inhaled corticosteroids reduces the incidence of pleural effusion in patients with community acquired pneumonia
The results were presented at the American Thoracic 2012 International Conference
Prior treatment with inhaled corticosteroids in patients with respiratory disorders who develop community acquired pneumonia (CAP) is associated with a lower incidence and severity of parapneumonic effusion. That is the conclusion of a research funded by CIBERes and IDIBAPS led by Dr. Jacob Sellarés, MD, PhD, associate faculty member at the Hospital Clínic - IDIBAPS de Barcelona. The results were presented at the American Thoracic 2012 International Conference held in San Francisco on May, and were recently commented by the newspaper Diario Médico.
