The Strep A Test is a single‑marker blood assay that looks for the presence of Streptococcus A bacteria in a venous blood sample. Detecting this bacterium may support the evaluation of sore‑throat or skin‑infection symptoms, helping clinicians decide whether antibiotics are likely needed. It’s priced at £60 (blood‑draw fee £15 extra) and returns results within a typical laboratory turnaround time.
About this treatment
The Strep A Test screens a venous blood sample for the bacterium Streptococcus A, the sole biomarker in this panel. Because a positive result may support the assessment of throat or skin infections, the test is useful for patients presenting with sore throat, scarlet fever‑like rash, or unexplained fever. The assay requires a standard blood draw (no fasting required) and is processed in a certified lab, with results usually available within a few business days. The price listed is £60 and does not cover the separate £15 blood‑taking fee. Included with the purchase are the venous blood collection, laboratory analysis of the single marker, and a detailed results report with a brief clinician consultation to interpret the findings.
