In the adult group sensitivity of mouth culture was 72.1% (95% Confidence Interval [CI] 59.9-82.3%) and specificity was 100% (95% CI 92.7-89.4%-100%). In the pediatric group sensitivity of mouth culture was 78.3% (95% CI 65.8-87.9%) and specificity was 100% (95% CI 92.5-100%). CONCLUSION Our study demonstrated higher sensitivity of mouth culture for GAS than previously published. This finding suggests that areas of the oral cavity that were considered as unacceptable sites for culture of GAS pharyngitis may be considered as acceptable
