How long does a strep test take in San Leandro?

A strep test usually only takes a few minutes. A throat swab is used for the strep A test, whereas a cotton swab or a urine sample is used for the strep B test. Your healthcare provider can tell you how long your strep test will take based on the procedure used.

What happens if you test positive for group B strep?

Adults seldom show symptoms or get sick with Group B strep, but it can be dangerous for newborns. Antibiotics are commonly given to pregnant women who test positive for group B strep to keep the illness from spreading to the baby as it goes through the birth canal. Because the infant will not be exposed to germs in the delivery canal, antibiotics are not required for women with group B strep who are having a scheduled Cesarean section.

How much does a strep test cost in San Leandro?

A strep test's price is influenced by a variety of criteria, including provider rates, the type of test (throat swab, vaginal swab, or urinalysis), geographic region, and if your health plan covers this treatment. Getting an estimate from your health insurance company or the step test company is the quickest way to figure out how much a strep test will cost.

If I could give Dr. Vilivalam six stars, I would! I have been seeing Dr. Vilivalam for a while and he is one of the best doctor I've seen. He always takes the time to understand the issue and diagnose accurately and/or provide recommendations. He and his team are warm, welcoming, and helpful. It's also very convenient that I can schedule video visits on his website, and the process is extremely easy. Highly recommend!
