  • Title: Impetigo:an assessment of etiology and appropriate therapy in infants and children.
    Author: Pruksachatkunakorn C, Vaniyapongs T, Pruksakorn S.
    Journal: J Med Assoc Thai; 1993 Apr; 76(4):222-9. PubMed ID: 8113643.
    Abstract:
    We found that mixed organisms of S.aureus and GABHS were the most common cause of impetigo in children in our study; that, of the two regimens evaluated, cloxacillin is the most effective treatment; that penicillin is equally effective in cases of mild to moderate forms and may be preferred on the basis of cost-effectiveness.
