A2 - Chumley, Heidi S. PY - 2019 T2 - The Color Atlas and Synopsis of Family Medicine, 3e AB - A 27-year-old woman complains of 2 days of sore throat, fever, and chills. She is unable to swallow anything other than liquids because of severe odynophagia. She denies any congestion or cough. On examination, she has bilateral tonsillar erythema and exudate (Figure 37-1). Her anterior cervical lymph nodes are tender. Based on the presence of fever, absence of cough, tender lymphadenopathy, and tonsillar exudate, you believe that she has a high probability of group A β-hemolytic Streptococcus (GABHS) pharyngitis. A rapid antigen detection test confirms the diagnosis, and you prescribe antibiotics.
