Centor Score for Pharyngitis 1.0

Centor Score for Pharyngitis is a mobile app designed to help medical practitioner to estimate the probability of streptococcal-origin pharyngitis and suggests the management course. It is designed to be used only in patients with recent onset (≤3 days) acute pharyngitis. Centor Score were developed as a method to quickly diagnose the presence of Group A streptococcal infection or diagnosis of streptococcal pharyngitis. The point system is important in that it dictates management. Scores may range from −1 to 5. A mnemonic to remember Centor is:
* C – Cough absent, or the incorrect but memorable "Can't Cough"
* E – Exudate
* N – Nodes
* T – temperature (fever)
* OR – young OR old modifier

All calculations must be re-checked and should not be used alone to guide patient care, nor should they substitute for clinical judgment. Calculations in this app might be different with your local practice. Consult to expert doctor whenever necessary. Please seek a doctor’s advice in addition to using this app and before making any medical decisions.
