Antibiotics
Patients randomized into the treatment (i.e., antibiotics) arm of the study will be treated with a seven-day course of oral azithromycin and amoxicillin. Azithromycin will be dosed as single 500 mg dose (2-250mg oral tablets) administered immediately following randomization, yet prior to discharge to home, followed with 1-250mg oral tablet daily for 4 additional days (for a total of 5 days). Amoxicillin will be dosed as a single-500mg oral tablet three times daily for 7 days with first dose also being given prior to discharge home. Azithromycin Pill: Azithromycin will be dosed as single 500 mg dose (2-250mg oral tablets) administered immediately following randomization, yet prior to discharge to home, followed with 1-250mg oral tablet daily for 4 additional days (for a total of 5 days). Amoxicillin Pill: Amoxicillin will be dosed as a single-500mg oral tablet three times daily for 7 days with first dose also being given prior to discharge home.
No Antibiotics
Patients randomized into the control (i.e., no antibiotics arm) will be managed according to standard of care practices for previable PPROM desiring of expectant management.
