Popis:	The present study compares two therapy protocols in 40 children with recurrent tonsillitis. Twenty of them were randomly treated with penicillin, and the remaining 20 received penicillin + metronidazole. Clinical and microbiological assessment of the results was made. The association of penicillin and metronidazole was most efficient, probably due to its activity against Streptococus pyogenes and anaerobic betalactamase-producing bacterias. The high failure rate in the penicillin group states the necessity to change the therapy with this antibiotic in the treatment of childhood recurrent tonsillitis.
