摘要：

• GAS is a common cause of upper respiratory tract and skin infections. • Based on strong research evidence, (1) throat culture is the gold standard for diagnosing GAS pharyngitis. • Based on strong research evidence, (1) oral penicillin V K is the antibiotic treatment of choice for GAS pharyngitis because of its efficacy, safety, and narrow spectrum. • Based on strong research evidence, (2) primary prevention of complications of GAS such as ARF involves prompt diagnosis and antibiotic treatment of GAS pharyngitis. • GAS nonsuppurative and suppurative complications may occur and are mediated by interactions between GAS antigens or exotoxins and the patient's immune system.
