Rapid strep test. The rapid strep test (RST) is a rapid antigen detection test (RADT) that is widely used in clinics to assist in the diagnosis of bacterial pharyngitis caused by group A streptococci (GAS), sometimes termed strep throat. There are currently several types of rapid strep test in use, each employing a distinct technology.
Multiple different detection systems have been detected often abbreviated as CRAG (CRyptococcal AntiGen test). The most widely used has been the latex agglutination test in which serum or CSF can be tested.
