Prepare for the Strep A season in the coming fall/winter

Expected rise in Strep A cases as schools and daycare centers resume

As the fall season sets in and schools and daycare centers reopen, healthcare professionals should prepare to face the increased prevalence of Strep A infections especially among children. The incidence of Group A Streptococcus (GAS) pharyngitis usually peaks during winter months and early spring in Europe.

During 2022/2023 season many European countries faced elevated prevalence of invasive form of GAS (iGAS) associated with deaths. European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) stated that reducing the transmission of GAS will also help to reduce the risk of severe iGAS infections. GAS pharyngitis is diagnosed by rapid antigen detection test and/or bacterial culture and is treated with antibiotics and supportive care. In response to this seasonal challenge, QuikRead go® Strep A test stands as your reliable partner in early GAS detection and drives evidence-based treatment in point of care environment.
