[Improvement of rapid laboratory methods for the diagnosis of streptococcal infections]
Abstract:
In 1975, clinical and epidemiological investigations were carried out on streptococcal infections, affecting 261 persons in a children's community. Rapid laboratory tests were used, employing commercial sodium amyl polyethylen microtablets. Of the total persons investigated 24.5% (64) presented primary streptococcal infections and 0.3% (1) complications. Environmental complications was 5% greater in the communities with scarlet fever foci than in the intact communities. The absence of late manifestations in the 1--4 year-old children attests to the effectiveness of the preventive measures taken.

Sputum Studies II: Culture and Sensitivity
Sputum culture and sensitivity is a medical procedure used to diagnose bacterial infections in the respiratory tract and select the most appropriate antibiotics for treatment. This process involves analyzing sputum samples of thick and opaque secretions produced in the lungs and airways. These samples are collected from patients and then sent to the laboratory for analysis.
The test can identify various pathogens responsible for respiratory infections, including Streptococcus,...
