...dreaded strep bacteria and "rapid strep tests" allow concrete diagnoses to be made in a matter of minutes. Although the National Institute of Health estimates that more than 10 million mild infections caused by strep are diagnosed each year, the serious consequence of untreated strep infections are extremely rare in the U.S. Treatment for strep consists of oral antibiotics and the cure rate is practically...

I see children in my office every week with tender, warm boils of pus on their buttocks, legs, arms and even foreheads.

It gave Democrats that rare gift: a wedge issue that split Republicans and united Democrats, who declared themselves the party of progress. Five years later, with midterms looming, they hope to leverage the issue as evidence that they represent the reality-based community, running against the theocrats. States from Connecticut to California have tried...
