Brief Summary
To investigate the non inferiority of a short lasting antibiotic treatment (3 days) when compared to a long lasting antibiotic treatment (8 days), at Day 15 after the beginning of treatment in terms of clinical efficacy, in adults admitted to emergency services for a non severe Community Acquired Pneumonia (PAC), who responded well to 3 days of beta-lactamin treatment (3GC or A/AC).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
clinical evaluation at Day 15
Clinical evaluation at Day 15 composed of the composite measure of the Clinical examination for clinical symptoms of CAP, recording of the body temperature and confirmation that no additionnal antibiotic treatment was required from Day 8
Day 15
Secondary Outcomes (1)
clinical evaluation at Day 30
Day 30
Other Outcomes (1)
mortality all causes at Day 30
Day 30
Study Arms (2)
Amoxicillin/Clavulanic acid treatment
ACTIVE COMPARATORafter 3 day treatment of β-lactams, the subjects receive 5-day treatment of Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid. Chest X-ray performed at admission and Day 30 and replapses. 'blood sampling /Cell Counts/CRP/Biochemistry' performed at Day 0, Day 30 and relapse
placebo treatment
PLACEBO COMPARATORafter 3-day treatment of β-lactams, the subjects receive 5-day treatment of placebo. Chest X-ray performed at admission and Day 30 and replapse. blood sampling /Cell Counts/CRP/Biochemistry' performed at Day 0, Day 30 and relapse
Interventions
at Day 0, Day 30 and relapse
administered from Day 0 to Day 3
