: We reviewed the clinical presentation and management of children with Invasive group A streptococcal infections admitted to our tertiary Children’s Hospital in the last eight years. Our study highlighted the varied symptomatology and management practices in children with iGAS and showed that early diagnosis and prompt initiation of appropriate antibiotics for iGAS can help in resolution of symptoms and good outcome.

And Control

In spite of adequate means of therapy, streptococcal disease and its complications continue to present problems to the physician who cares for children. For accurate diagnosis and control of streptococcal disease inexpensive bacteriologic culture facilities are required and the physician must assure himself of the accuracy of the results. To prevent the sequelae of streptococcal occal pharyngitis, therapy sufficient to eradicate the offending organism is required. Optimum therapy of streptococcal infections is intramuscular benzathine penicillin; oral therapy with penicillin or erythromycin should be followed by a throat culture to ensure that the streptococcus has been erdicated.

AbstractThe aim of the study was to determine the effect of the application of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on the course of an infection with group A type T-3 hemolytic β streptococcus. Experiments were carried out on Porton white mice and in vitro blood plates. General and local infections with streptococci were induced in animals. The infected animals were treated with hyperbaric oxygenation. The lethal effect of infection was significantly inhibited using hyperbaric oxygenation on the first and second day following the infection.

Objective We have produced a protocol for the comprehensive systematic review of the current literature around superficial group A Streptococcal infections in Australia. Methods MEDLINE, Scopus, EMBASE, Web of Science, Global Health, Cochrane, CINAHL databases and the gray literature will be methodically and thoroughly searched for studies relating to the epidemiology of superficial group A Streptococcal infections between the years 1970 and 2019. Data will be extracted to present in the follow up systematic review. Conclusion A rigorous and well-organised search of the current literature will be performed to determine the current and evolving epidemiology of superficial group A Streptococcal infections in Australia.
