Abstract

Benzathine penicillin G has been used in United States Navy and Marine Corps recruit camps since 1953 to reduce the incidence of streptococcal disease and its nonsuppurative complications-acute rheumatic fever and acute glomerulonephritis. This paper reviews the history of prophylactic penicillin use among U.S. Navy and Marine Corps recruits and discusses the rationale for continuing this practice today.
