背景
Sore throat is a common presentation in Urgent Care. Sore throat accounts for up to 1-2% of ambulatory visits in the United States on an annual basis. A common perception and fear from patients is that sore throat is strep throat. However, sore throat is a common presentation for many infectious and non-infectious causes, including life-threatening conditions. This webinar will review the diagnostic approach to sore throat with a focus on using evidence-based data to develop an efficient clinical workflow and review treatment options. Finally, we will discuss some of the controversies involving the testing and management of strep throat.
