GROUP A STREPTOCOCCAL PHARYNGITIS TESTING GUIDELINES AND PROCEDURAL LIMITATIONS By Irwin Z. Rothenberg, MBA, MS, CLS(ASCP), Technical Writer / Quality Advisor, COLA Resources, Inc. Strep tests are used to determine if a person with a sore throat (pharyngitis) has strep throat, an infection of the throat and tonsils caused by the bacteria Streptococcus pyogenes, also called Group A Streptococcus (GAS), or if the sore throat is caused by a virus. The majority of sore throats (70%-85%) are actually viral in nature, and will resolve without treatment within a few days. However, it is important to determine when sore throats are caused by GAS, since this is the most common bacterial cause of acute pharyngitis, responsible for 5%–15% of sore throat visits in adults and 20%–30% in children. It is most common in children ages 5 to 15 years old (over 50 % of the cases occur within this age bracket); it is very contagious; and needs to be identified as soon as possible, and treated with antibiotics. Accurate diagnosis of streptococcal pharyngitis followed by appropriate antimicrobial therapy is important for the prevention of acute rheumatic fever; for the prevention of suppurative complications (e.g. peritonsillar abscess, cervical lymphadenitis, mastoiditis, and, possibly, other invasive 4

infections); to improve clinical symptoms and signs; for the rapid decrease in contagiousness; for the reduction in transmission of GAS to family members, classmates, and other close contacts of the patient; to allow for the rapid resumption of usual activities; and for the minimization of potential adverse effects of inappropriate antimicrobial therapy. Fortunately, most streptococcal infections are now routinely diagnosed and treated through rapid strep testing, these complications are rare in the United States, but they do still occur. Establishing the Diagnosis of GAS Pharyngitis 1. Swabbing the throat and testing for GAS pharyngitis by rapid strep test and/or throat culture should be performed because clinical features alone do not reliably discriminate between GAS and viral pharyngitis except when overt viral features like runny nose, cough, oral ulceration, and/or hoarseness are present. In children and adolescents, negative rapid strep tests should be backed up by a throat culture; however, www.PhysiciansOfficeResource.com

positive rapid strep tests do not necessitate a back-up culture because they are highly specific. 1. The routine use of back-up throat cultures for those with a negative rapid strep test is not generally recommended for adults, because of the low incidence of GAS pharyngitis, and because the risk of subsequent acute rheumatic fever is exceptionally low. Physicians who wish to ensure they are achieving maximal sensitivity in diagnosis may (of course) continue to use conventional throat culture or back up negative rapid strep tests with a culture. 2. Anti-streptococcal antibody titers are not recommended in the routine diagnosis of acute pharyngitis as they reflect past but not current events. Who Should Undergo Testing for GAS Pharyngitis? 1. Testing for GAS pharyngitis usually is not recommended for children or adults with acute pharyngitis with clinical and epidemiological features that strongly suggest a viral basis (e.g, cough, runny nose, hoarseness, and oral ulceration). 2. Diagnostic studies for GAS pharyngitis are not indicated for children under three years old because acute rheumatic fever is rare in children under three years old, and the incidence of streptococcal pharyngitis and the classic presentation of streptococcal pharyngitis are uncommon in this age group. Selected children under three years old who have other risk factors, such as an older sibling with GAS infection, may be considered for testing 3. Follow-up post treatment throat cultures or rapid strep testing are not recommended routinely but may be considered in special circumstances 4. Diagnostic testing or empiric treatment of asymptomatic household contacts of patients with acute streptococcal pharyngitis is not routinely recommended If the results of the rapid strep test are positive, further testing is not necessary, and treatment can be started immediately. Testing Guidelines l. The Rapid Strep Test (RST) Description A major disadvantage of throat cultures is the delay (overnight or longer) in obtaining

results. RSTs have been developed for the identification of GAS pharyngitis directly from throat swabs, with shorter turnaround time. Rapid identification and treatment of patients with GAS pharyngitis can reduce the risk of spread, allowing the patient to return to school or work sooner, and can reduce the acute associated morbidity. The use of RSTs for certain populations (e.g, patients in emergency departments) was reported to significantly increase the number of patients appropriately treated for streptococcal pharyngitis, compared with traditional throat cultures. RSTs currently available are highly specific (approximately 95%) when compared with blood agar plate cultures. False-positive test results are highly unusual, and therefore therapeutic decisions can be made with confidence on the basis of a positive test result. Unfortunately, the sensitivity of most of these tests is 70%–90%, compared with blood agar plate culture. The first RSTs used latex agglutination methods, were relatively insensitive, and had unclear end points. Newer tests based on enzyme immunoassay techniques offer increased sensitivity and a more sharply defined end point. The practitioner should be aware that some of these rapid strep tests are not waived, and therefore, require proper certification or accreditation of the physician's laboratory. Neither conventional throat culture nor RSTs accurately

differentiate acutely infected persons from asymptomatic streptococcal carriers with viral pharyngitis. Nevertheless, they allow physicians to withhold antibiotics from the great majority of patients with sore throats for whom results of culture or RST are negative. This is of extreme importance, because nationally up to 70% of patients with sore throats seen in primary care settings receive prescriptions for antimicrobials, while only 20%–30% are likely to have GAS pharyngitis. Since the sensitivities of the various RSTs are <90% in most studied populations of children and adolescents, and because the proportion of acute pharyngitis due to GAS in children and adolescents is sufficiently high (20%–30%), a negative RADT should be accompanied by a follow-up or back-up throat culture in children and adolescents, while this is not necessary in adults under usual circumstances, as noted above. Procedure Obtaining a specimen is the same whether your doctor will do a throat culture or rapid test for strep. A cotton swab (similar to a Q-tip) is quickly rubbed over both tonsils as well as the back wall of the mouth (the posterior pharynx). It is important to avoid contact with other structures inside the mouth such as the tongue or cheeks. The swab is then placed in a specialized container and the rapid test performed. Many 5

Many people find that obtaining the swab produces a gagging sensation. However, since the entire swabbing process lasts less than five seconds this inconvenience is minimal. Limitations 1. There are several manufactures of rapid strep tests. Each manufacturer has designed their test to respond only to the presence of the particular streptococcal bacteria (Group A) responsible for strep throat. Other bacteria which are less much less likely to cause sore throats are not identified by the rapid strep test. 2. The test will not detect viral causes of sore throat. 3. A positive test response occurs when a reaction occurs between a protein on the surface of strep bacteria and chemicals in the test materials. Either living or dead strep bacteria will produce a positive reaction. A positive culture requires antibiotics, nevertheless. 4. Most rapid strep tests have a sensitivity of 90%, meaning that the test will be positive in 90 of 100

patients who are documented to have strep throat via throat culture obtained at the same time. Since 10 of 100 patients with strep throat will be missed using a rapid strep test, all negative swab specimens should be sent for culture to confirm the absence of strep bacteria. 5. The rapid strep test has a 98% specificity. This means that 98 of 100 positive tests correctly indicate the presence specifically of Group A streptococcus bacteria; 2 of 100 positive results are "false positives" indicative of similarities between various surface proteins found on strep bacteria and other non-strep bacteria found in the mouth. ll. The Throat Culture Culture of a throat swab on a sheep-blood agar plate has historically been the standard for the documentation of the presence of GAS pharyngitis in the upper respiratory tract and for the confirmation of the clinical diagnosis of acute streptococcal pharyngitis. If performed correctly, culture of a single throat swab on

CONTINUEDFROMPAGE5 a blood agar plate is 90%–95% sensitive for detection of GAS pharyngitis. A major disadvantage of throat cultures is the delay (overnight or longer) in obtaining results. This spurred the development and adoption of rapid strep testing directly from throat swabs, with shorter turnaround time. Limitations Several variables affect the accuracy of throat culture results. For example, the manner in which the swab is obtained has an important impact on the yield of streptococci. Throat swab specimens should be obtained from the surface of either tonsils (or tonsillar fossae) and the posterior pharyngeal wall. Other areas of the oral pharynx and mouth are not acceptable sites. Healthcare professionals who try to obtain a throat swab from an uncooperative child without immobilizing the neck may obtain a specimen that is neither adequate nor representative...

LASER LIPOLYSIS FDA APPROVED INCH LOSS TECHNOLOGY WITH PAINLESS AND INSTANT RESULTS By Dr. Don Stokes

Laser Lipo, Ltd with headquarters in England has developed an advanced body contouring device which directly targets the adipocyte cells leaving the other cells unaffected. Laser diodes using a wavelength of 660 nm creates a photo-chemical reaction in the cell membrane stimulating the cells to temporarily open a pore, and very naturally releases water, glycerol, and free fatty acids. The fat cells then shrink in size. The excess fat is then removed safely through the lymphatic system and the bodyâ€™s natural metabolic process, thus creating a similar reaction as if the person was exercising. This device allows practitioners to target the areas where patients want the fat gone without any discomfort or downtime. 16

Whatâ€™s a visit like? A certified treatment specialist measures and photographs the patient and then has them relax on the treatment table. 10 laser paddles (each having 6 laser diodes) are placed on each treatment area for 10 minutes. After treating 2 areas the paddles are then removed and a person spends 10 minutes on a whole body vibration (WBV) device. WBV assists in draining of the recently released fatty byproducts from the treatment and speeds up the lymph flow 2-3 times. Immediately after the treatment the patient is measured again which shows the accomplishments achieved. The patient will need to do 20-30 minutes of cardio exercise within 12 hours of their laser lipo www.PhysiciansOfficeResource.com

treatment to assist the body in utilizing the water, glycerol and free fatty acids which have been released.

“ During the FDA study the average person lost 3.67 inches off their midsection after only 8, ten-minute treatments over a 30 day period.”

How Many Visits Does it Take? A course of 6-10 Laser Lipo treatments is usually recommended. Depending on results required and body areas to be treated, the amount of treatments will probably vary by individual. FDA Approved Device During the FDA study the average person lost 3.67 inches off their midsection after only 8, ten-minute treatments over a 30 day period. That is great news for those looking to tighten and tone their abs, arms, thighs and other problem areas. Why Does the Device Work so Well? • The light triggers lipolysis in targeted adipocyte which allows fatty acids to be broken down and released. (Water, Gylcerol and Free Fatty Acids are released) • The light stimulates fibroblasts, strengthening the collagen and elastic fibers to tone and tighten skin. • The Strawberry Laser Lipo is a cold, low level, red laser (Class 3B). • It utilizes a semiconductor-driven diode to produce a continuous wavelength which is 660 nanometres (nm).

Dr. Don Stokes

• Coherent and stable laser energy is irradiated by using the treatment probes which lay on the patient’s skin during treatment. • The laser energy safely penetrates the patient’s skin there are no known side effects and zero downtime. • Normal activities, including cardio exercise, can be resumed immediately following Laser Lipo treatment. What Contraindications are there to Treatment? Contraindications to treatment include: Epilepsy, Active Cancer,

Currently Pregnant, Pacemaker, Compromised kidney or liver, over open lesions, uncontrolled hypertension, photosensitivity to sun or taking medications which causes photosensitivity. Why Would a Physician Want to use this Laser Lipo Device? Here are common reasons. • This treatment can be done by a non-medical, trained technician. • Increasing costs affect revenue negatively in many practices. This laser creates a cash income stream using your own patients. • Many of our patients are overweight and are concerned about chronic diseases resulting from their high BMI. Laser Lipo results have motivated many to change their diets and strive to lead a healthier lifestyle. For many offices which have added this laser they simply put up in the waiting room a poster to inform and educate their patients on a new way to lose inches.

SMALL DENSE LDL CHOLESTEROL (sdLDL-C)

SIZE MATTERS: THE TRUE WEIGHT OF RISK IN LIPID PROFILING By Emma Callaghan, Randox Laboratories Ltd Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for approximately 17.7million deaths per year, representing 31% of all deaths worldwide. Globally, the mortality rate for cardiovascular disease (CVD) has dramatically declined over the past 20 years, however, in low and middle-income regions, the number of lives lost to CVD is increasing. This highlights the growing need for the assessment of CVD risk to include methods that account for uncertainty and heterogeneity (1) (2). The current NICE guidelines for assessing cardiovascular risk The current UK National Institute for Health Care Excellent (NICE) (2014) guidelines states those at risk of developing CVD should be screened. Risk factors include: age, diet, smoking, alcohol consumption, kidney disease and diabetes. 34

NICE recommend testing the full lipid profile when testing for CVD and before starting a patient on lipid modification therapy which is the primary prevention method for CVD. The full lipid profile according to NICE encompasses: total Cholesterol, HDL Cholesterol, non-HDL Cholesterol and Triglycerides (3). Clinical Significance of sdLDL-C LDL Cholesterol (LDL-C) is a low-density lipoprotein involved in cholesterol and triglycerides transfer from the liver to peripheral tissues. LDL-C consists of two parts: the bigger part with phenotypic pattern A is light and almost rich in cholesterol (Large Buoyant LDL Cholesterol (LBLDL-C)) and the smaller part with more special weight and phenotypic pattern B (sdLDL-C) composed of less cholesterol. The two www.PhysiciansOfficeResource.com

types of LDL-C vary in size through genetic determination and dietary lipid intake. All LDLs transport triglycerides and cholesterol to the tissues but their atherogenesis varies according to size. sdLDL-C is therefore a subtype of LDLC, and these smaller particles can more readily permeate the inner arterial wall and are more susceptible to oxidation (4).

However, sdLDL-C has a stronger affinity to vessel wall heparin sulphate proteoglycans (HSPGs), resulting in sdLDL-C more readily permeating the arterial wall. sdLDL-C is also liable to oxidation from its physiochemical properties causing foam cell formations.

Key benefits of the Randox sdLDL-C assay The Randox sdLDL-C assay utilizes the Denka Seiken method, providing accurate patent results. It was designed for use on automated biochemistry analyzers for efficiency and convenience. Applications are available detailing instrument-specific settings for the convenient use of the Randox sdLDL-C assay on a wide range of biochemistry analyzers. Dedicated sdLDL-C controls and calibrator are available providing a complete testing package.
