Clinical differentiation between a virus and beta-hemolytic streptococci as a cause of pharyngitis remains difficult. In the physician's laboratory, more rapid procedures using immunologic methods have replaced culture methods, traditionally requiring 2 to 3 days for identification of beta-hemolytic streptococci. Attention to the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of these procedures will guide appropriate use.
区分病毒和β溶血性链球菌作为咽炎病因的临床诊断仍然困难。在医生的实验室中，使用免疫方法的更快速检测程序已经取代了传统的培养方法，传统培养方法鉴定β溶血性链球菌通常需要2至3天。关注这些检测程序的诊断敏感性和特异性将有助于合理使用。
