Abstract
The clinical presentation of district hospital paediatric patients with pharyngeal group A streptococci (GAS) was compared with that of children who were proven negative for GAS. The most significant clinical feature of children 3 y of age or under was cervical lymphadenopathy. In all age groups abdominal pain was as common as sore throat and could be intense enough to mask throat symptoms.
