The AFLOAT trial - Antibiotics For uncomplicated Lower respiratory tract infection in Older AdulTs.

Antibiotics For uncomplicated Lower respiratory tract infection in Older AdulTs.

• The purpose of this trial is to find out whether patients who do not take antibiotics for a chest infection recover as quickly (are no worse off) as those who do take antibiotics.
• Why? Because most chest infections are caused by viruses, and antibiotics are not effective for these infections. Antibiotics may not speed up the healing process and can cause side effects, but this has not been tested in older adults.
• It is up to you if you want to take part. If you decide to take part, you are free to stop at any time for any reason, and you will always receive the best possible care available.

Requirements to take part:

• Aged 80 or over with symptoms of a chest infection
