Abstract
Uvádíme odpovědi na základní otázky týkající se běžných streptokokových infekcí: asymptomatické nosiče pyogenního streptokoka není třeba identifikovat ani léčit. Provádět kontrolní kultivace po terapii akutních tonzilitid/faryngitid není doporučeno. Provádět výtěr z krku rodinným příslušníkům pacienta s opakovanými streptokokovými infekty není indikováno. Neodebírat ASLO, pokud není podezření na akutní revmatickou horečku. Při léčbě tonzilitidy je vhodné se vyhýbat aminopenicilinům a cefalosporinům II. generace.
Abstract (in English)
The review answers basic questions related to common streptococcal infections. Asymptomatic streptococcal carriers do not need to be identified or treated. It is neither necessary nor advisable to perform control throat cultures of patients after a treatment of streptococcal pharyngitis. Pharyngeal swabs of family contacts of a patient suffering from streptococcal infection should not be generally cultured. Testing ASO titers is not needed unless acute rheumatic fever is suspected. Aminopenicillins and 2nd generation Cephalosporins are not advisable for the treatment of tonsillitis. The review answers basic questions related to common streptococcal infections.
