In this randomized open study, 325 children aged two to 15 years with acute tonsillitis and a positive test of GA beta H streptococcal antigen were treated with josamycin 50 mg.kg-1.day-1 b.i.d for 5 days, or penicillin 50,000 to 100,000 IU/day t.i.d for 10 days. Clinical assessments and throat cultures for GA beta HS isolation were performed at the inclusion visit (V1), at the end of treatment visit (V2: day 12 for all patients) and at the follow-up visit (V3: day 30). In case of positive GA beta HS culture, the bacterial DNA by RFLP was performed to differentiate between the persistence (presence of original strain at V2), relapse (eradication at V2 and acquisition of same strain at V3) and reinfection (eradication at V2 and acquisition of different strain at V3).
