Subscribe now >> Streptococcal Pharyngitis What is streptococcal pharyngitis? Streptococcal pharyngitis (sore throat), or "strep throat," is an infection of the throat and tonsils caused by the bacteria Streptococcus pyogenes , also known as Group A beta-hemolytic streptococci (GABS). What are the symptoms of streptococcal pharyngitis? The symptoms of streptococcal pharyngitis include sore throat, pain on swallowing, fever, swollen and tender lymph nodes in the neck, and fatigue. The tonsils are swollen and often covered with pus. The roof of the mouth may have fine red lesions called petechiae. While cough, hoarseness, and runny nose are common symptoms of viral upper respiratory infections, these are NOT symptoms of streptococcal pharyngitis. It is important to realize that most sore throats are not due to streptococcal infections. When strep throat is accompanied by a red rash and fever, it is called scarlet fever. If left untreated strep pharyngitis lasts from 2 to 5 days; with antibiotics it lasts about 1-3 days. The rash of scarlet fever fades after several days but is often followed by flaking or peeling of the skin, especially around the fingertips, 1 to 3 weeks later.

DIAGNOSIS AND MANAGEMENT OF ACUTE PHARYNGITIS IN CHILDREN A Continuing Education Course Despite some progress in reducing inappropriate antibiotic use, the rapid growth of antibiotic resistance is still a critical public health issue. If prescribing patterns do not change, Harvard researchers predict that 40% of Streptococcus pneumoniae will be resistant to penicillin and erythromycin by 2004. To help ensure that physicians can effectively combat infectious diseases now and in the future, the Council for Affordable Quality Healthcare (CAQH) is working with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Alliance for the Prudent Use of Antibiotics (APUA) on Save Antibiotic Strength sm (SAS), a unique partnership aimed at preserving one of our most precious medical resources. Although pharyngitis is one of the most common reasons for antibiotic prescribing, only 15% of pediatric and 10% of adult episodes of pharyngitis are bacterial and helped by taking antibiotics. TARGET AUDIENCE This is designed for primary care physicians and nurses who care for children.
