Overview
Viral Etiology
Bacterial Etiology
Group A streptococcus: No single element in the history or physical examination is sensitive or specific enough to exclude or diagnose strep throat.[1]
Diphtheria: The diagnosis, which may be strongly suspected on epidemiologic and clinical grounds, should be confirmed by culture of the pseudomembrane in Loeffler’s or tellurite selective medium.[2]
Neisseria gonorrhoeae: The diagnosis should be confirmed by culture on Thayer–Martin medium.[2]
