Type A strep is a type of bacteria known as streptococcus pharyngitis. Type A streptococcus is common bacteria that causes various infections, like strep throat, scarlet fever, and invasive disease. Strep throat is an contamination that affects the throat and tonsils area. The infection is spread from one individual to other through coughing or sneezing. While one can get strep throat at any age, it's mostly common in children 5 to 15. Strep throat are easily treated with antibiotics medication, but if left untreated, strep throat can lead to severe complications. These complication include rheumatic fever, a disease that effects the heart and joints, and glomerulonephritis, a type of kidney disease.
The rapid antigen detection test (RADT) has largely replaced microbiological culturing as the initial test for detecting, throat swab culture, or both in patients with pharyngitis, except for those with overt viral symptoms in the USA. A throat culture in children should approve negative RADT results. Positive RADTs do not require backup culture tests due to their high specificity. Compared with the throat swab culture method, commercially available RADTs have sensitivity and specificity of 77%–98.9% and 62%–100%, respectively. The differences between various RADTs could be attributed to the skill level of individuals performing the tests, somewhat subjective interpretation of RADT endpoint, different commercial kits, and the quality of culture. Given the importance of RADT in diagnosing acute pharyngitis, a more accurate performance evaluation of RADTs is required.
