Abstract
Amoxicillin was administered to 50 patients with chronic recurrent tonsillitis waiting for tonsillectomy. Group A (N=16) received 2.2 g of amoxicillin plus clavulanic acid with intravenous injection 10 minutes before tonsillectomy. Group B (N=34) was treated with 3 doses of amoxicillin-clavulanic acid administered orally the day before surgery, plus one oral administration 2 hours before tonsillectomy. Antibiotic doses were established on patient s weight using maximum suggested. The measures were estimated in serum and in tonsils using High Performance Liquid Chromatography, (HPLC). The data show better efficacy of intravenous administration than oral administration.
