Antibiotics were prescribed during 60% of pharyngitis visits for children (Table). Narrow-spectrum penicillins accounted for 61% of antibiotics prescribed. During the 14-year study period,narrow-spectrumpenicillinprescribingdecreasedfrom65% (95% CI, 57%-72%) of antibiotics in 1997 to 1998 to 52% (95% CI, 44%-60%) in 2009 to 2010 (P = .08), while macrolides increased (P < .01) (Figure). Macrolides and first-generation cephalosporins (second-line antibiotics for GAS pharyngitis) and second-/thirdgeneration cephalosporins and amoxicillin-clavulanate (not recommended)accountedfor21%and18%ofantibioticsprescribed, respectively.
