Clinical Background
Acute sore throat is a symptom often caused by an inflammatory process in the pharynx, tonsils or nasopharynx. Most of these cases are of viral origin and occur as part of the common cold,1 requiring only symptomatic treatment. However, when bacterial pathogens are the cause of pharyngeal infections, antibiotic treatment may be required.
Beta-hemolytic group A Streptococcus (GAS) is a major cause of upper respiratory tract infection, such as tonsillitis or pharyngitis. Rapid, accurate diagnosis of a GAS infection can help physicians to prescribe antibiotic treatment only when necessary, helping to reduce incidence of adverse effects and the spread of bacterial resistance.
Early diagnosis and treatment of group A streptococcal pharyngitis has also been shown to reduce the severity of symptoms and further complications, such as rheumatic fever and glomerulonephritis.2 ,3
