1 Case Study Monica Castelao Walden University 1 Case Study Group A Streptococcus is one of the most significant causes of acute upper respiratory tract infections. Close Panel Suspected Entry: 75% match Uploaded – Week3CastelaoM.extention.docx Case Study Group A Streptococcus is one of the most significant causes of acute upper respiratory tract infections Source – Another student’s paper Influenza is one of the most significant causes of acute upper respiratory tract infections nationwide Its early diagnosis and treatment has been found to reduce the se4verity of symptoms and further complications such as rheumatic fever and glomerulonephritis. Moreover, the conventional detection processes for detecting the microorganisms from throat swabs often entail isolation and subsequent detection of viable pathogens by strategies that are not time-consuming (Barakat et al., 2019). The rapid Strep A test provides results within a few minutes. How the Assessment tool is used Purpose The purpose of the assessment tool is to detect Strep A carbohydrate antigen in a throat swab. Therefore, it is an assessment tool that is qualitative in nature, and is employed by performing lateral flow immunoassay for the detection of Strep A. 2 in such a test, the antibody that is unique to Strep A carbohydrate antigen is coated on the test line region of the test (Finkelstein et al., 2017).
