Strep throat is a dangerous condition that can lead to numerous lifelong complications (such as glomerulonephritis and peritonsillar abscess). Timely antibiotic therapy can protect you and your child from complications and hospitalization. This test speeds up the diagnostic and treatment process for both you and your child. Streptococcus, acute pharyngitis (Streptococcus pyogenes), is a pathogenic bacterium characterized by the presence of Group A antigens. It causes serious infections like severe bacterial pharyngitis, impetigo, endocarditis, meningitis, postpartum sepsis, and arthritis. Untreated infections can lead to severe complications, such as rheumatism and peritonsillar abscess.
