“Revogene Strep A demonstrated good performance during our evaluation and is a promising alternative to replace throat culture and RADT for Streptococcal pathogens detection in a patient presenting with pharyngitis symptoms.
Improved detection and rapid results have the potential to improve antibiotic utilization in the emergency department.”
