Description:
Double throat swabs will be taken from each participant. One will be used during consultation to perform the rapid antigen detection test. One will be sent to the microbiology laboratory to perform the reference standard test. If the throat swab grows Group A Streptococcus on culture, the strain will be stored at -80°C for 5 years.
Below we describe 3 Groups to allow a sufficiently detailed description of all tests, but the index test, the reference standard, and the comparator test will be performed on all study participants (i.e., 'single-gate' design).
