Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Group A streptococcus (GAS) is the commonest bacterial cause of pharyngitis. Children in the age group of 5-15 years are most commonly affected. It can also colonize throats of healthy children in this age group. Both cases and carriers can transmit it in the community. METHODS: Throat swab samples were collected from 1849 asymptomatic and 371 symptomatic children. RESULTS: The rate of isolation of...
