Pilot Study of Strepic® Device for the Diagnosis of Group A Streptococcal Pharyngitis

The Strepic® device is a qualitative point-of-care diagnostic test for the detection of GAS pharyngitis. The test uses direct visualization of the pharynx with a light source of specified wavelengths, causing excitation of endogenous fluorophores that emit a characteristic colored light pattern. White light images may give additional diagnostic accuracy through use of an artificial intelligence analysis of a large set of images of GAS and non-GAS pharyngitis.
