For what length of time can you carry strep throat without symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Continuously: We are aware that some individuals appear resistant to the invasive character of group a streptococcus and can carry it for an indefinite period without symptoms. Estimate cite 5% of the population year round increasing to 20% during the cold seasons.This factor is likely the reason strep seams to occur year round from unknown sources.
