    Abstract

    Most illnesses in ambulatory patients are infections; most of these are upper, middle, or pararespiratory infections. Although these diseases are rarely serious, they result in immense amounts of time lost from work and incalculable expense for over-the-counter medications. Guidelines for antibiotic and other drug therapy for these diseases need a better scientific foundation.
