AB A  mother  brings  her  nine  year-old  daughter  to  the  pediatrician’s  office  with  complaints  of  sore  throat,  fever,  and  malaise  for  2  days.  The  girl  has  not  had  cough  or  runny  nose.  The  mother  is  concerned  about  strep  throat  because  a  classmate  of  the  daughter’s  was  just  diagnosed  with  this.  On  exam,  the  girl  has  erythematous  tonsillar  pillars,  palatal  petechiae,  and  impressive  cervical  lymphadenopathy  (Figure  29-1).  A  throat  swab  for  rapid  streptococcal  antigen  is  positive  and  the  girl  is  treated  with  penicillin  VK  for  10  days  and  recovers  completely.
