Case #1 An 8-year-old boy is seen in February because of fever, headache, sore throat, and malaise. He’s had no rhinorrhea, cough, or hoarseness. Physical examination reveals a temperature of 103.5, exudative pharyngitis, and tender cervical adenopathy. How will you treat him? Is penicillin still the drug of choice for treatment of streptococcal pharygitis? AAP recommends oral penicillin V 2-3 times daily for 10 days, a single dose of benzathine penicillin, or amoxicillin 250 mg/kg tid for 10 days Larger doses of penicillin once daily result in more relapses* *Breese, 1965, Gerber,
