Group A β-hemolytic streptococcus (also known as Streptococcus pyogenes) is the most common bacterial cause of pharyngitis (acute pharyngitis) and is also responsible for some skin infections such as impetigo and erysipelas. Most sore throats are caused by viral infections that heal on their own without antibiotic treatment. Streptococcal A infections can sometimes go away within a few days without treatment, but doctors prescribe antibiotics to prevent possible serious complications such as rheumatic fever or acute glomerulonephritis. This test will help you quickly determine if the sore throat is caused by streptococcus A or other agents(usually viruses) that do not require antibiotic treatment. In case of a positive test, visit your general practitioner and consult the next procedure exclusively with him.
Main features:
- self-diagnostic test for the detection of streptococcus A from blood
- result within 10 minutes
- the package contains all the material needed to perform the test
