RAPID STREPT TEST, GROUP "A"

The Rapid Strept Test, Group A is a point-of-care throat swab that detects Streptococcus pyogenes antigens and provides a reliable result within 10–15 minutes, helping differentiate bacterial strep throat from viral sore throats. Rapid identification enables timely antibiotic treatment when indicated, lowering the risk of complications such as rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease and supporting immediate clinical decisions in the home setting. Available for home collection across Dubai in line with UAE clinical standards, the test is suitable for symptomatic adults and children, but positive results or ongoing symptoms should always be reviewed by a physician for confirmation and appropriate treatment.
