Primary care physicians, pediatricians, and specialists like an otolaryngologist and infectious disease specialists are the healthcare practitioners most likely to request a Strep A test.

Strep A tests are primarily used to identify if the patient has Strep A throat infection or discern if their symptoms are caused by Strep A or another virus.

For rapid strep tests, results usually come back within 10 to 20 minutes, while the throat culture strep test results can take 24 to 48 hours of processing before they become available.
