AB The  presenting  symptoms  and  signs  of  GABHS  pharyngitis  include  rapid  onset  of  severe  throat  pain,  moderate  fever  (39–40.5°C),  malaise,  and  headaches.  Examination  of  the  throat  reveals  edema  and  erythema  of  the  posterior  pharynx  and  tonsils  are  often  covered  with  gray-white  exudates.  The  anterior  cervical  lymph  nodes  are  tender.  Gastrointestinal  symptoms  of  nausea,  vomiting,  and  abdominal  pain  may  also  be  present,  especially  in  children.
