OBJECTIVE: Acute @entity497 in C  te d'Ivoire, mainly in the pneumology units, is the second most common cause of hospitalization after @entity378 . This study aimed to evaluate the compliance of antibiotic therapy during bacterial acute @entity497 with international guidelines serving as frame of reference at the University Hospital of Cocody. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We carried out a descriptive retrospective and analytic study on 62 hospitalized @entity1 from December 1, 2008 to November 30, 2010 in the Pneumophtisiology department at the University Hospital of Cocody (Abidjan). The prescription of antibiotics was compared with the recommendations of the 15th consensus conference on anti-infectious therapy by the Soci  t   de Pathologie Infectieuse de Langue Francaise (SPILF) (French Speaking Society of Infectious Pathology) held in 2006. RESULTS: The main antibiotics prescribed were @entity10188 (42.27%), @entity5153 (34.5%) and @entity2177 (6%). The antibiotic therapy diagrams were dominated by an antibiotic bitherapy; the association of @entity10188 + @entity5153 was observed in 80.64% of the prescriptions. An antibiotic monotherapy was reported in 14.52% of the prescriptions. Apyrexia at 72 hours was obtained with 64% of the @entity1 with nonstop antibiotic treatment, 24% of them presented a lack of apyrexia, and 12% of them died. The lack of apyrexia at 72 hours treatment correlated with concomitant administration of @entity799 with prophylactic doses among @entity645 positive @entity1 . The level of the compliance with the SPILF recommendations is low (3.6%). CONCLUSION: Thus, our results convey the necessity to draw up national recommendations because of the specific realities of countries with limited incomes.
