Diffuse hepatic cirrhosis develops in rats on a choline-deficient diet within 300 days. Absorbable broad spectrum antibiotics added to the daily diet do not prevent the development of fatty infiltration, but they delay the development of cirrhosis for about 100 days more. Non-absorbable antibiotics added to the daily diet prevent the development of cirrhosis in most rats for as long as 750 days. The superiority of non-absorbable antibiotics to absorbable antibiotics excludes a systemic effect of the antibiotics and demonstrates that intestinal bacteria are largely, if not wholly, responsible for the cirrhosis in rats on a choline-deficient diet.

50 patients with chest infections admitted in the Kanti Childrens Hospital were studied to assess the effectiveness of the broad spectrum antibiotics in altering the course of the disease. These infants were graded to assess the daily improvement in their conditions and were followed up to 7 days. Altogether 12 patients were grouped in grade 2 and 38 were grouped in grade 1. There were no change in the condition of these patients up to the fifth day of admision inspite of the costly drugs used.These findings confirm that routine use of antibiotics in chest infections in infants without secondary complications does not alter the prognosis. Moreover it increases the economic burden to family whose daily income can hardly afford nutretious diet.
