Three- versus four-week administration of benzathine penicillin G: effects on incidence of streptococcal infections and recurrences of rheumatic fever.
Pediatrics

Department of Pediatrics, National Taiwan University Hospital, Taipei.
Objective: To investigate the effects of 3-week versus 4-week administration of benzathine penicillin G (BPG) on the incidence of Group A streptococcal infections and the recurrences of rheumatic fever (RF).
Study Design: We started, in 1979, randomly allocating all patients with RF to a 3-week or 4-week BPG prophylaxis program. They were examined at the RF clinic, every 3 to 6 months, and at any time they did not feel well.
Case report: steroid sparing effect of intravenous gamma globulin in a child with necrotizing vasculitis.

This article reports the case of a boy aged 2 years 6 months, who had fever, arthritis, and necrotizing cutaneous vasculitis. Evaluation revealed no evidence of direct infectious causes. However, high anti-streptolysin and streptozyme titers during the acute phase support the possibility that streptococcal infection played an important role in the pathogenesis of this disease.

Streptococcal throat infection is a sine qua non for the development of rheumatic fever (RF) in genetically susceptible people. Demonstration of such infection is not easy. In overt RF less than 10% of patients still carry streptococci in their throat and immunologic methods are required to identify antibodies against streptococcal products (SP).

Three hundred six children with probable Group A beta-hemolytic streptococcal pharyngitis were enrolled in a randomized double blind trial to compare the effects of immediate vs. delayed treatment with oral penicillin V. Among the 229 culture-positive patients, 111 were randomly assigned to receive penicillin V immediately and 118 to receive a placebo for 48 to 52 hours followed by penicillin V.
