Igarashi H, et al. - Researchers evaluate the accuracy of gastrointestinal symptoms, including abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting, in the diagnosis of Group A streptococcal (GAS) pharyngitis in children and aim to ascertain differences in diagnostic accuracy in boys versus girls. It was concluded that the abdominal pain and nausea were related to GAS pharyngitis in boys, but not in girls. Abdominal pain and nausea may help ascertain the suitability of rapid tests in younger boys with fever and other clinical findings consistent with GAS pharyngitis, even in the absence of sore throat.
