Overview
Streptococcal throat infection must be differentiated from epiglottitis, peritonsillar abscess, retropharyngeal abscess, viral pharyngitis, coxsackie virus (herpangina), influenza and EBV.
Differential diagnosis
Strep throat must be differentiated from other diseases that cause sore throat and fever:[1][2]
- Other causes of pharyngitis
- Foreign body (e.g., fish bone)
- Chemical exposure
- Referred pain (e.g., dental abscess, otitis media)
- GERD
