Pharyngitis Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Comparison of Available Rapid Streptococcus A Tests in Community Clinics in Israel: Accuracy, Ease of Use and Acceptability.
There is a large over-use of antibiotics in family medicine, especially in upper respiratory
tract infections.
This study is designed to determine if the use of rapid Streptococcal tests in primary care
clinics can lower the rate of antibiotic use while not missing bacterial infections.
