Strep A Antigen Test is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of strep A antigen from throat swab specimens to aid in the diagnosis of group a streptococcal
Summary
Group A streptococcus is a major cause of upper respiratory infections in humans. The most commonly occurring group A streptococcal disease is pharyngitis. The symptoms of this, if left untreated, can become more severe and further complications such as acute rheumatic fever, toxic shocklike syndrome and glomerulonephritis can develop. Rapid identification can facilitate clinical management to prevent disease progression.
Conventional methods used to identify group A streptococcus involve the isolation and subsequent identification of the organisms, which can take 24-48 hours to complete.
Strep A Antigen Test detects group A streptococci directly from throat swabs so that more rapid results are achieved. The test detects bacterial antigen from swabs, therefore it is possible to detect group A streptococcus, which may fail to grow in culture.
