BACKGROUND
Cefprozil and erythromycin are acceptable alternatives to penicillin in the treatment of pharyngitis/tonsillitis due to group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus (GABHS).

A 6-year-old boy with bloody diarrhea was diagnosed with group A beta-hemolytic streptococcal hemorrhagic colitis. Complications included pharyngitis and impetigo, both caused by the same organisms. In addition to being isolated from stools, Streptococcus pyogenes was also isolated from skin
Cefdinir, an oral cephalosporin active against Streptococcus pyogenes (group A beta-hemolytic streptococci [GABHS]), is also resistant to degradation by most oropharyngeal beta-lactamases. This multicenter, randomized, controlled, double-masked study assessed the tolerability and efficacy of 2
This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of clarithromycin in the treatment of patients with Group A beta-hemolytic streptococcal pharyngitis. Subjects were treated with either 250 mg clarithromycin twice daily or 250 mg penicillin V four times a day for 10 days and followed for approximately
Loracarbef, a member of a unique class of beta-lactam compounds (carbacephems), has excellent chemical and beta-lactamase stability, as well as documented clinical effectiveness against a broad spectrum of bacteria. Ten-day treatment regimens of loracarbef (200-mg capsule BID or 15 mg/kg/day
An open label randomized trial conducted in rural Kentucky compared the efficacy and safety of cefixime (CFX), 8 mg/kg once daily, with those of penicillin V (PEN), 250 mg 3 times daily, in 110 pediatric patients with Group A beta-hemolytic streptococcal pharyngitis. Forty-eight CFX and 47 PEN
BACKGROUND
Telithromycin, a ketolide antibacterial, has been developed for the treatment of community-acquired respiratory infections.

Cefixime, a new third generation oral cephalosporin antibiotic, was evaluated for safety and efficacy in the treatment of 206 children with acute bacterial pharyngitis, cystitis or pneumonia. Each patient had a throat, urine or sputum culture before therapy and was treated with a 10- to 14-day
Ninety-three patients with a diagnosis of acute pharyngitis/tonsillitis due to Streptococcus pyogenes were randomly assigned to receive 100 mg of cefpodoxime proxetil orally with food every 12 hours or 250 mg of penicillin V potassium orally on an empty stomach every six hours. Treatment efficacy
Coxsackie viruses are enteroviruses most common in children. Coxsackie B viral infections often present with biphasic fever, headache, pharyngitis, nausea/vomiting, diarrhea and a maculopapular rash that spares the palms and soles.
