入选标准

  • Give informed consent, assent, and documentation of patient authorization for disclosure of study results.
  • Since all patients are below the legal age of consent, assent from the patient must be obtained (as applicable following state regulations) and written informed consent obtained from the parent or legal guardian.
  • Age > = 6 months -12 years.
  • A clinical diagnosis of acute tonsillitis and/or pharyngitis defined as having the clinical signs and symptoms compatible with tonsillitis and/or pharyngitis, including sore throat or difficulty feeding or swallowing or irritability that suggests the presence of a sore throat with at least one of the following:
  • Tonsillar or pharyngeal exudate
  • Tender cervical lymph nodes
  • Fever or history of fever treated with antipyretics
  • Odynophagia
  • Uvular edema
  • Pharyngeal Erythema of moderate or greater intensity
  • Elevated white blood cell (WBC) >12,000/mm3 or 10% bands
  • Red tongue and prominent papillae (Strawberry tongue)
  • A positive rapid screening test for S. pyogenes (enzyme immunoassay; SiGNIFY™ Strep A Test).
  • Patient is an appropriate candidate for oral antibiotic therapy and can swallow the study dosage forms.
  • Females must be non-lactating and:
  • If of childbearing potential and sexually active, the patient must have a negative prestudy urine pregnancy test and be utilizing acceptable birth control methods throughout the study.

排除标准

  • Chronic or recurrent (two weeks duration two times per year) odynophagia or enlarged tonsils secondary to viral or proven bacterial etiology.
  • The need for hospitalization or I.V. antimicrobial therapy.
  • Pharyngitis known or suspected to be due to a pathogen resistant to beta-lactam antimicrobials.
  • Patients who are known carriers of S. pyogenes.
  • Previous allergy, serious adverse reaction to, or intolerance to, penicillin or any other member of the beta-lactam class of antimicrobials.
  • Any serious illness or concomitant condition that the investigator judges would preclude the study evaluations or make it unlikely that the course of study therapy and follow-up could be completed. This would also include:
  • Any rapidly progressive underlying disease with a shortened life expectancy.
  • The inability to swallow the study dosage form.
  • Unable to understand the requirements of the study.
  • Neutropenia (<1000 PMNs/mm3) or other known immunocompromised state.
  • Hard chills or rigors.
  • Seizure disorder or lowered seizure threshold. This does not exclude children with previous febrile seizures.

  • Current drug or alcohol abuse.
  • Receipt of any experimental drug or medical device within the previous 30 days (or are scheduled to receive any other experimental procedures during the study period).
  • Previous treatment under this protocol.
  • Systemic antimicrobial therapy with benzathine penicillin within 30 days or azithromycin within 14 days.
  • Hospitalization within the month prior to study admission, during which antibacterial therapy was administered.
  • The presence of clinically significant hematologic conditions or cardiac valvular disease.
  • History of cardiovascular disease, renal disease, or neurological disease secondary to previous infection with S. pyogenes.
  • Probenecid treatment or systemic steroids during the duration of the study.
