1 Infection Management Summary of changes (Feb-14 to Aug-16) Influenza (CAS alert 28 th June-16; noted at TSAPG 10/08/16 & approved PAMM Acute Sore Throat DoH update 28 th June 2016: GPs and other prescribers working in primary care should no longer prescribe antiviral medicines, for the prophylaxis and treatment of influenza on an FP10 prescription form. This is in accordance with NICE guidance and Schedule 2 to the National Health Service (General Medical Services Contracts) (Prescription of drugs etc) Regulations 2004, commonly known as the Grey List or Selected List Scheme (SLS).This advice stands until we write again to re-commence prescribing and supply of antiviral medicines in primary are. Added: Use FeverPAIN Score; 1 point each: Fever in last 24h (( 36.9 C), Purulent tonsils, patient Attending rapidly ( 3 days), severely Inflamed tonsils, No cough or coryza. Score 0-1: 13-18% streptococci, use NO antibiotic strategy; 2-3: 34-40% streptococci, use 3 day back-up antibiotic; 4-5: 62-65% streptococci, use immediate antibiotic if severe, or 48hr short back-up prescription. Removed: If Centor score 3 or 4: (Lymphadenopathy; No Cough; Fever; Tonsillar Exudate) consider 2 or 3-day delayed or immediate antibiotics. 1 Version: AA Aug-16
