Abstract
Pharyngitis due to group (A) beta hemolytic streptococcus
(GABHS) assumes a special significance because of the risk of subsequent
rheumatic fever (RF) and chronic rheumatic heart disease (RHD) in the
infected child. About 10-30 % of acute Pharyngitis is caused by (GABHS).
About 0.3-3% of patients of untreated (GABHS) pharyngitis go on to
develop (RF).
The main goals in our study were to assess the effect of therapy by oral
penicillin for 10 days versus long acting penicillin single injection
1.200.000IU for children <25KG and 600.000 IU for children >25KG in
treatement of children with recurrent follicular tonsillitis by frequent
estimation of antistreptolysin o titre (ASOT).
