dc.description.abstract	Erythromycin, clarithromycin, and azithromycin are equally effective in treating pneumonia caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae or Chlamydophila (formerly Chlamydia) pneumoniae (strength of recommendation [SOR]: B, small head-to-head trials). Macrolide choice can be based on other considerations--cost, side effects, and effectiveness against other suspected pathogens (SOR: C, expert opinion).	eng
