Press Release Body: QAR publishes a research about acne antibiotics and upper
respiratory infections
Atlanta, Georgia, 11/16/2007 - The department of research writing at QAR reports
that according to Medical News Today, "Individuals treated with antibiotics for acne
for more than six weeks were more than twice as likely to develop an upper
respiratory tract infection within one year as individuals with acne who were not
treated with antibiotics, according to an article in the September issue of Archives
of Dermatology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals.

Although there is considerable concern that the overuse of antibiotics will lead to
resistant organisms and an increase in infectious illness, there have been few
studies on people who have actually been exposed to antibiotics for long periods,
according to background information in the article. Patients with acne, for which
long-term antibiotic use is standard and appropriate therapy, represent a unique and
natural population in which to study the effects of long-term antibiotic use, the
authors suggest".

\"In this study, we have shown that the odds of a URTI developing among individuals
who use an antibiotic to treat acne is about two times greater compared with those
who do not use an antibiotic,\" the authors conclude. \"The true clinical importance
of our findings, in which patients and practitioners need to balance the risk of
these infections with the benefits that patients with acne receive from this
therapy, will require further investigation. However, patients with acne represent
an ideal model in which to study the long-term effects of antibiotic therapy, the
risks associated with colonization, and the risks of increasing resistance among
bacterial pathogens exposed to antibiotics during treatment.\"
