Ceclor CD is generally effective in the eradication of streptococci from the oropharynx; however, substantial data establishing the efficacy of Ceclor CD in the subsequent prevention of rheumatic fever are not available. 2. Bacteriological studies to determine the causative organism and its susceptibility to cefaclor should be performed. Therapy may be started while awaiting the results of these studies. Once these results become available, antimicrobial therapy should be adjusted accordingly.
