| description | Streptococcal pharyngitis and rheumatic fever/rheumatic heart disease are among the major public health problems in children. In this study we assay the frequency of group A Beta hemolytic Streptococcus in nasopharynex of 1588 healthy 6-12 years children in Gorgan in north of Iran. The sample obtained during February to March 1998, using sterile soap. The prevalence of this bacteria were 11% (175 strains) the rate of colonization in girls and boys were 10.8 and 11.2% respectively.
