title: [Comparative study of the penetration of penicillin V, amoxicillin, cefaclor and josamycin in the tonsils].
abstract: Fourty patients undergoing tonsillectomy for recurrent tonsillitis were administered penicillin V, amoxicillin, cefaclor or josamycin. Antibiotic concentrations in serum and tonsillar tissues were determined by microbiological assay. Cefaclor demonstrated a superior diffusion than penicillin V and amoxicillin, but nevertheless inferior to that of josamycin.
