We performed a prospective study to determine if the pretest probability of a positive loop-mediated isothermal amplification test is greater when there are more signs and symptoms of GAS pharyngitis. Patients were enrolled if a clinician obtained a GAS RADT. The McIsaac score was calculated. The prevalence of positive LAMP and RADT results increased as the McIsaac score increased. The calculated sensitivity of LAMP was superior to RADT.
