  • Title: Antibiotic Prescription Quality in Group A b-hemolytic Streptococcal Pharyngitis.
    Author: Penela D, Hernandez-Bou S, Trenchs V, Sabater A, Luaces C.
    Journal: Indian Pediatr; 2020 Feb 15; 57(2):175-177. PubMed ID: 32060247.
    Abstract:
    Antibiotic prescriptions in 227 patients with acute group A b-hemolytic streptococcal pharyngitis in the emergency department were studied. Antibiotic prescription was inappropriate in 42% of the cases, especially due to errors in the prescription of amoxicillin. Probably the use of low-spectrum penicillins would improve this percentage.
