This study examines clinical and epidemiologic features suggestive of Group A Beta-Hemolytic Streptococcus (GABHS) pharyngitis. It highlights the importance of performing rapid antigen detection tests (RADT) and throat cultures in cases of suspected GABHS infection. We analyze outcomes of patients with negative results for GABHS and explore the implications of not conducting further investigations. The findings suggest that antibiotic treatment may not be necessary in cases where clinical features are not indicative of GABHS pharyngitis.
