What is Strep A?

Group A Streptococcus, commonly referred to as Strep A, is a highly contagious bacterial infection that can cause a variety of other illnesses. These infections range from relatively minor illnesses to severe and potentially life-threatening conditions. It is important to understand the various infections associated with Strep A, including their symptoms, risk factors, treatment options, and preventive measures. Such infections include, but are not limited to:

  • Strep Throat
  • Cellulitis
  • Scarlet fever
  • Streptococcal Toxic Shock Syndrome
  • Impetigo
  • Rheumatic Fever
  • Necrotizing Fasciitis
  • Post-Streptococcal Glomerulonephritis

Routine testing is an important part of the treatment and prevention journey.

FAQs

How is the test performed?

The nurse will perform the test by collecting a throat swab sample and processing it via the appropriate medical device.

How do I know if I should test for Strep A?

Signs and symptoms of strep throat can include:

  • Throat pain that usually comes on quickly
  • Painful swallowing
  • Red and swollen tonsils, sometimes with white patches or streaks of pus
  • Tiny red spots on the area at the back of the roof of the mouth (soft or hard palate)
  • Swollen, tender lymph nodes in your neck
  • Fever
  • Headache
  • Rash
  • Nausea or vomiting, especially in younger children
  • Body aches

It’s possible for you or your child to have many of these signs and symptoms but not have strep throat. The cause of these signs and symptoms could be a viral infection or some other illness. That’s why your doctor generally tests specifically for strep throat.

It’s also possible for you to be exposed to a person who carries strep but shows no symptoms.
