What is Strep Throat?

Strep Throat, scientifically known as Streptococcal pharyngitis or streptococcal sore throat is a group A streptococcal infection that affects the pharynx and sometimes the larynx. Symptoms include fever, sore throat, and enlarged lymph nodes. It is spread through close contact with an infected individual. Diagnosis can be done by a throat culture, but often can be done based on symptoms alone. Antibiotics are often used to prevent complications and speed recovery.
