  • Current participant exclusion criteria as of 31/05/2019:
  • 1. Severe underlying chronic disease with an increased risk of developing complicated CAP including sickle cell anaemia, primary or secondary immunodeficiency, chronic lung disease and cystic fibrosis
  • 2. Documented penicillin allergy
  • 3. Any other known contra-indication to amoxicillin
  • 4. Need for systemic treatment with an antibiotic other than amoxicillin on discharge from hospital
  • 5. Bilateral wheezing without focal chest signs (most likely to represent respiratory tract infection of non-bacterial aetiology)
  • 6. Complicated pneumonia
  • 7. Receipt of initial antibiotic treatment in hospital in PAU or on the ward*
  • 8. Parents/guardians unlikely to reliably complete the diary because of significant language barriers.
