Abstract:Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of omadacycline and levofloxacin in the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP).Methods Eighty CAP patients admitted to Huangshan City People's Hospital from April 2020 to July 2023 were divided into a control group (n = 38) and an observation group (n = 42). Both groups received conventional treatments (antipyretics, antitussives, fluid replacement, electrolyte balance adjustment) based on clinical status. The control group received levofloxacin, while the observation group received omadacycline, both for 7 days. Clinical efficacy were compared.Results No statistically significant differences were observed in overall efficacy (P > 0.05), symptom resolution times (P > 0.05), or adverse reaction rates (P > 0.05) between the two groups. The observation group showed a greater reduction in CURB-65 scores post-treatment compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Significant differences favoring omadacycline were observed in the magnitude of decreases in CRP, PCT, IL-6, WBC, and NE levels (P < 0.05).Conclusion Omadacycline demonstrates comparable efficacy to levofloxacin for CAP treatment but exhibits superior anti-inflammatory effects and greater reduction in disease severity.
