   for Strep A to improve diagnostic accuracy and avoid unnecessary antibiotic treatment
   (Linder et al. 2005). Estimated economic costs of pediatric streptococcal pharyngitis
   in the United States range from $224 million to $539 million per year, including
   indirect costs related to parental work losses. At a higher level, the economic
   cost of antibiotic resistance vary but have extended as high as $20 billion in
   excess direct healthcare costs, with additional costs to society for lost productivity
   as high as $35 billion a year (2008 dollars) (Roberts et al. 2009)."/>
