Acute pharyngitis is a common illness in both children and adults, caused by a wide variety of microbial agents. In children, approximately 20% of pharyngitis is caused by group A beta-hemolytic streptococci (GABHS); in adults, 5% of pharyngitis is due to GABHS. The signs and symptoms of...

The development of a GAS vaccine may bring numerous benefits, which might prevent not only streptococcal pharyngitis but also invasive infections, as well as the emergence of new cases of RF and its complications. Since pioneering studies by Lancefield13, M protein is the target of choice for th...
Rapid nucleic acid tests (RNATs) are now available; a systematic review of their accuracy is lacking. Objectives To evaluate the accuracy of RNATs in patients with pharyngitis; to explore test-level and study-level factors that could explain variability in accuracy; and to compare the accuracy ...
