ABSTRACT
Group A Streptococcus (GAS) pharyngitis is a common clinical syndrome in primary care, yet controversy remains regarding the best approach to diagnosis and treatment, including the benefits of antibiotics. Children who are likely to have GAS pharyngitis based on history or physical examination should have a throat swab and, when positive, be treated with amoxicillin or penicillin. The disproportionate burden of acute rheumatic fever in Indigenous populations in Canada and special considerations for testing and treatment are discussed.
