Group B beta-hemolytic streptococci causing pharyngitis.
Group B beta-hemolytic streptococci were isolated from the throats of 49 of 1,110 patients who had pharyngitis. Compared with patients whose throat cultures were negative for beta-hemolytic streptococci, those harboring group B were more likely to have enlarged tonsils (P less than 0.001), exudate (P less than 0.02), and tender enlarged anterior cervical lymph nodes (P less than 0.01). Group B ...
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 کاملEpidemiological survey of beta-hemolytic streptococci isolated from acute pharyngitis in a private pediatric practice.
PharyngltlS is one of the most common illnesses seen in the pnmary medical care of children. Most cases are of viral etiology, while others are mainly bacterial (I,2). The most prevalent bacterial pharyngitis is due to 8-hemolytic streptococci (BHS), which are. responsible for suppurative and nonsuppurative complicat10nS and are potentially highly transmissible. However, microbiologic data rega...
متن کاملTyping Group a Hemolytic Streptococci
Two methods of typing group A hemolytic streptococci have been described: slide agglutination and anti-M precipitin tests. The first, developed by Griffith (1), is more extensively used. I t has the distinct advantages of requiring small amounts of serum and culture, and of a quick reaction time when all conditions are favorable. I t has certain disadvantages: The granular growth of some strain...
