Strep throat
Welia Health has introduced the new, FDA-approved Xpert® Xpress Strep A Test for quick and accurate confirmation of streptococcal bacteria as a leading cause of sore throat.
The new test offers several benefits over the traditional rapid Strep A test.
- Reliable test results are available in approximately 30 minutes with no second clinic visit required to confirm initial test results
- Elimination of the next-day wait time for results drastically reduces the spread of infection to your family, co-workers and others
- Earlier access to antibiotic treatment leads to quicker reduction of symptoms and shortened duration of illness
If a sore throat or fever persists longer than 48 hours, make an appointment to see a Welia Health provider. Log onto MyChart to schedule an appointment online or call 800.245.5671.
