Eventually strep can and likely will manifest into something more severe. post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis is rare in adults but has been known to happen in cases of ignoring strep.
Interesting, my brother's wasn't a swab test at all, not from the throat. Don't know if it was blood or what, but it wasn't from the throat. I think they tested the goo coming out of his acne-like legions and the cut.

Anyway, I still can't believe that if this doctor heard 1069 say she had this numerous times recently, that he/she didn't step up two or three levels on the antibotics. That's the main thing I wish to be remembered about my post.
