Since October 2022, there has been an increase in invasive Group A streptococcal (iGAS) infections, which coincided with a respiratory virus outbreak. Physicians need to be aware of the heightened risk of pediatric iGAS infections.
Since October 2022, an increase in invasive Group A streptococcal (iGAS) infections has been reported. In this 15-year study we showed that this increase was concomitant with intense respiratory viruses' outbreak. Physicians should be aware of this increased risk of pediatric iGAS infections. In a 15-year pediatric time-series analysis, we showed a rise of invasive Group A streptococcal (iGAS) infections since October 2022, mainly involving pleural empyema, simultaneously to a respiratory virus outbreak. Physicians should be aware of this increased risk of pediatric iGAS infections, especially in settings with intense respiratory viruses' circulation.
