Randomized, single-blind evaluation of cefadroxil and phenoxymethyl penicillin in the treatment of streptococcal pharyngitis.
A total of 150 children from two pediatric practices with clinical and bacteriologic evidence of acute group A beta-hemolytic streptococcal (GABHS) pharyngitis randomly received cefadroxil monohydrate (75 children) or phenoxymethyl penicillin (75 children). Cefadroxil was given once daily, while penicillin was given three times daily. The treatment groups were similar in age, sex, race, illness...
متن کاملUse of available dosage forms of cephalexin in clinical comparison with phenoxymethyl penicillin and benzathine penicillin in the treatment of streptococcal pharyngitis in children.
The effectiveness of cephalexin, an oral cephalosporin using a dosage equivalent to available capsular dosage forms, was studied in relation to the effectiveness of phenoxymethyl penicillin and benzathine penicillin in the treatment of 128 patients with beta-hemolytic streptococcal pharyngitis, all but six of whom had group A streptococci isolated from throat cultures. Approximately one-half, 6...
متن کاملRelapse of gonorrhoea after treatment with penicillin or streptomycin.
The earliest workers with penicillin observed that it was extremely effective in vitro against the gonococcus. Florey and his co-workers (Abraham, Chain, Fletcher, Gardner, Heatley, Jennings, and Florey, 1941) found the gonococcus to be the most sensitive of a wide variety of pathogens they tested against penicillin. Clinical experience supported laboratory findings, and penicillin became, and ...
متن کاملAre cephalosporins superior to penicillin for treatment of acute streptococcal pharyngitis?
Penicillin has been the " gold standard " for treatment of acute pharyngitis due to group A streptococci (GAS) (i.e., " strep throat ") for 5 decades. It is effective not only for treating acute infection but also for preventing acute rheumatic fever. GAS have remained exquisitely and uniformly susceptible to penicillin in vitro, and the drug is notable for its safety, narrow spectrum , and low...
متن کاملMeta-analysis of cephalosporins versus penicillin for treatment of group A streptococcal tonsillopharyngitis in adults.
We conducted a meta-analysis of 9 randomized controlled trials (involving 2113 patients) comparing cephalosporins with penicillin for treatment of group A beta -hemolytic streptococcal (GABHS) tonsillopharyngitis in adults. The summary odds ratio (OR) for bacteriologic cure rate significantly favored cephalosporins, compared with penicillin (OR,1.83; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.37-2.44); th...
