: 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.
