Late-onset Rash in Patients with Group A Beta-hemolytic Streptococcal Pharyngitis Treated with Amoxicillin
We observed late-onset rashes in patients with group A beta-hemolytic streptococcal (GAS) pharyngitis. Of 1028 patients with GAS pharyngitis, which was principally treated with amoxicillin, we evaluated those who developed a late-onset rash and excluded those with scarlet fever alone. Twenty-one patients developed a rash (2.0%, 95% confidence interval, 1.3-3.1%), 7 to 20 days (median, 8 days) a...
متن کاملManagement of Group A beta-hemolytic streptococcal pharyngitis.
Bacteria are responsible for approximately 5 to 10 percent of pharyngitis cases, with group A beta-hemolytic streptococci being the most common bacterial etiology. A positive rapid antigen detection test may be considered definitive evidence for treatment; a negative test should be followed by a confirmatory throat culture when streptococcal pharyngitis is strongly suspected. Treatment goals in...
متن کاملSelective streptococcal agar versus blood agar for detection of group A beta-hemolytic streptococci in patients with acute pharyngitis.
In a study on acute pharyngitis in general practice, we compared a selective group A streptococcal agar (ssA) for the recovery of group A beta-hemolytic streptococci (GABHS) with sheep blood agar. All plates were incubated at 36 degrees C in an atmosphere reinforced with 5% CO2 for 48 h with a first reading after 24 h. A total of 197 GABHS isolates were obtained from 721 throat cultures on both...
متن کاملRapid antigen detection testing in diagnosing group A beta-hemolytic streptococcal pharyngitis.
Group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus (GABHS) is the most common bacterial cause of acute pharyngitis. Clinical criteria alone are not reliable enough to diagnose GABHS pharyngitis. Microbiological-testing is required for correct diagnosis. Although a throat swab culture remains the gold standard for documenting the presence of GABHS, a significant disadvantage of the culture is the delayed time...
