Impetigo:an assessment of etiology and appropriate therapy in infants and children

C Pruksachatkunakorn et al. J Med Assoc Thai. 1993 Apr.

Abstract

We found that mixed organisms of S.aureus and GABHS were the most common cause of impetigo in children in our study; that, of the two regimens evaluated, cloxacillin is the most effective treatment; that penicillin is equally effective in cases of mild to moderate forms and may be preferred on the basis of cost-effectiveness.
