Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* A female must be non-lactating, non-breastfeeding and at no risk for pregnancy.
* A condition of general good health, based upon the results of a medical history, physical examination, and laboratory profile.
* Subject must have a diagnosis of acute bacterial sinusitis. The diagnosis must be based on the following:

* a sinus radiograph or CT scan performed within 48 hours pre-treatment
* with evidence of maxillary opacification or air/fluid levels
* Purulent discharge from the nose
* At least one of the following clinical signs and symptoms of acute bacterial sinusitis

* Lasting for more than 7 days prior to and no longer than 21 days before Evaluation 1: facial pain over the sinus or facial pressure over the sinus or facial tightness over the sinus or facial swelling or toothache.
* Subject must be a suitable candidate for oral antimicrobial therapy and is able to swallow capsules intact.

Exclusion Criteria

* Subjects who have: chronic sinusitis (signs and symptoms lasting greater than 28 days prior to Evaluation 1)
* Significant anatomical abnormalities of the sinuses
* Any other infection or condition which necessitates use of a concomitant systemic antimicrobial.
* History of any hypersensitivity or allergic reactions to penicillins, cephalosporins (including cefdinir), or quinolones (including levofloxacin).
* Subject who has taken: a systemic antibiotic within 14 days before study drug administration; a long acting injectable antibiotic (e.g., penicillin G benzathine) within 30 days before study drug administration.
* Known significant renal or hepatic impairment.
* Evidence of uncontrolled clinically significant cardiovascular, pulmonary, metabolic, gastrointestinal, neurological or endocrine disease, malignancy, or other abnormality (other than the disease being studied).
* Investigator considers the subject unsuitable for cefdinir or levofloxacin therapy, for any reason.
* Previous enrollment in this study.
* Any underlying condition or disease state that would interfere with the completion of the study procedures and evaluations or absorption of study drug.
* Subject who is currently receiving or who is likely to require any of the following medications during the period between Evaluation 1 (initial presentation to office/clinic) and Evaluation 3 (or within 48 hours after the last dose of study drug): Concomitant theophylline or any theophylline analog, unless plasma levels of these drugs can be adequately monitored during the study; Warfarin and probenecid.
* Immunocompromised subjects.
* Subject who requires parenteral antibiotic therapy for this infection or who has any other infection or condition, that necessitates use of a concomitant systemic antibiotic.
* Subjects receiving antacids containing magnesium, or aluminum, as well as sucralfate, metal cations such as iron, and multivitamin preparations with zinc within 2 hours before or after dosing with study drug.
* Subjects with a known or suspected central nervous system disorder that may predispose the subject to seizures or lower the seizure threshold.
