Several children's hospitals are reporting elevated numbers of invasive group A strep infections, a severe and sometimes life-threatening illness that occurs when bacteria invade parts of the body, such as the bloodstream.
Children's hospitals in Texas, Washington, and Colorado told the Washington Examiner that they have seen more patients with severe group A strep infections than in previous years, in addition to managing a particularly bad season for the flu and respiratory viruses such as respiratory syncytial virus or RSV.
Children’s Hospital Colorado in Aurora said it has also seen an"unusual" increase in the number of patients admitted with group A strep infections. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the agency is looking into a possible rise in invasive group A strep infections. France, Ireland, the Netherlands, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and Northern Ireland have also reported an increase in cases of invasive group A infections and scarlet fever, particularly in children under 10 years old, the World Health Organization said Thursday. The U.K. reported that 16 children under 18 have died from group A strep infections since September.
