Filter by:The purpose of this study is to find out if tonsillectomy reduces the short-term risk of having an objectively confirmed (sequential changes in serum crp and procalcitonin levels) delayed pharyngitis episode among patients suffering from recurrent pharyngitis episodes. Other aims are to find out the effect of tonsillectomy to reduce the number of pharyngitis episodes or symptoms. Still, the possible disadvantages of tonsillectomy and changes in the quality of life after tonsillectomy among these patients are examined.
There is a large over-use of antibiotics in family medicine, especially in upper respiratory tract infections. This study is designed to determine if the use of rapid Streptococcal tests in primary care clinics can lower the rate of antibiotic use while not missing bacterial infections.
This is a study to to compare traditional fibre wound swabs to more recently developed flocked swabs for the identification of Group A streptococcal pharyngitis in children presenting to a children's emergency department.
The aim of this trial is to investigate the efficacy and tolerance of Ambroxol lozenges 20 mg in the treatment of sore throat in patients with acute viral pharyngitis.
We are proposing a study in which we utilize and augment the sore throat pain model to assess the analgesic effectiveness of celecoxib compared to placebo in patients with painful pharyngitis under randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled conditions.
Does presentation of clinical evidence for decision making at point-of-care improve prescribing patterns in ambulatory pediatrics?
The purpose of this study is to find out how often group A Streptococcus (GAS) occurs in school-age children of Central Fiji. This bacterium often causes pharyngitis (sore throat) and can also cause pyoderma (skin infection) or scabies. Approximately 1000 children ages 5-14 years will be enrolled from 4 primary schools in Central Fiji. These children will have throat swabs performed to determine how commonly GAS occurs. Over the next 10 months, children in this group who complain of sore throat will be examined and have throat swabs to determine if GAS is the cause. A subset of 600 children will be examined for pyoderma and scabies and have throat swabs every 2 months during the 10 month study. In addition, a small amount of blood will be drawn at 0, 6, and 10 months to determine the level of antibodies to Streptococcus.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of APC 111 MP Tablet, 775 mg tablet, given orally (PO)once daily (QD) for 10 days compared to that of Penicillin VK, 250 mg PO four times daily (QID) for 10 days in terms of bacteriological outcome at the Test-of-Cure (TOC) Visit (Day 14-18) in the eligible Per-Protocol bacteriological (PPb) population.
The purpose of this trial is to investigate efficacy and tolerability of lozenges containing 20 mg a mbroxol hydrochloride (Mucoangin?) relative to lozenges containing placebo and lozenges containing 3 mg benzocaine in relieving pain of sore throat in patients suffering from acute viral pharyngitis.
The purpose of this trial is to investigate efficacy and tolerability of lozenges containing 20mg am broxol hydrochloride relative to placebo in relieving pain of sore throat in adolescent patients suf fering from acute viral pharyngitis. The primary endpoint is the time-weighted average of the pain intensity difference from pre-dose bas eline over the first 3 hours after the first lozenge expressed as a ratio of the pre-dose baseline ( SPIDnorm).
