? A simple throat swab test detects strep. The back of the throat is swabbed then the swab is tested for the presence of Group A Strep. A rapid test provides quick, in-office results. If the rapid test is negative but the symptoms point to strep, a lab culture test can offer a more accurate result.

? When bacteria spread to other parts of the body, serious illness may occur. This is one reason it’s important to seek treatment quickly for strep throat symptoms.
