Fig. 1 Treatment strategy for streptococcal pharyngitis using a tiered ‘test-and-treat’ approach. This protocol works best when incentives are aligned for both the provider network and the patient. *Rapid test: thirdgeneration PCR-based test without back-up culture or less sensitive test with back-up culture.
