During a 15-month period, 148 infants and children less than 3-years-old who presented with signs and/or symptoms of pharyngitis were monitored in a private pediatric practice. Clinical signs included fever (95 or 64%), tonsillar exudate (16 or 11%), and cervical adenopathy (5 or 3%). Beta-hemolytic streptococci (BHS) from group A were isolated from throat swabs in 37 (25%) instances. These isolations were more common among children 25-35 months old than among children less than 2 years old (35 % vs. 19%, p < 0.05), and were significantly more likely when overnight anaerobic culture techniques were used rather than conventional aerobic methods (23 % vs. 11%, p < 0.01). Group A BHS may be isolated relatively frequently from symptomatic...
