Presentation

The microorganism is a very rare cause of endocarditis and its presentation with multiple liver abscesses is highly unusual. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Workup

No other focus of infection was identified on imaging workup suggesting primary infection of the pericardium. His clinical course was complicated by development of constrictive pericarditis for which he underwent surgical pericardiectomy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Because there are many other groups of Streptococcus spp., positive identification of the infecting bacteria is necessary to separate out other bacteria that may cause some similar symptoms but may require a different workup, different treatment, and [medicinenet.com]

Treatment

The most frequently antimicrobials used for treatment were ceftriaxone + levofloxacin. Ten patients cured with a combination of medical and surgical treatment and 2 patients died as a consequence of infection. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

With regard to the surgical treatment, the type of approach and details of the procedure were examined. The charts were reviewed from the day of service to at least 3 months after the initial treatment. [jamanetwork.com]

In this paper, we discuss why contemporary probiotics are inadequate for treatment of oral malodour and examine the rationale for selection of particular bacterial species for future use in the treatment of this condition. [doi.org]

Early treatment of deep infections (for example, excision, drainage, and antibiotic treatment of rectal abscesses) helps prevent invasive GAS disease. [medicinenet.com]

Prognosis

In this aging society, invasive infections with SDSE should be much more recognized among medical practitioners in order to improve patient prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

What is the prognosis for group A streptococcal infections? The prognosis for mild GAS infections is usually good to excellent. [medicinenet.com]

Etiology

This small series supports recognition of group G Streptococcus in the etiology of STSS. We propose intravenous immunoglobulin be used in treatment as it is for STSS caused by group A Streptococcus. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

ETIOLOGICAL AGENT: Streptococcus pyogenes NOTE: All beta-hemolytic streptococci are grouped from A to U based on the C-antigen (Lancefield classification). [atsu.edu]

Epidemiology

Here, we illustrate their epidemiological risk factors, clinical presentation and resulting sequelae of both patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Epidemiology of Streptococcus pyogenes. Streptococcus pyogenes: basic biology to clinical manifestations [Internet], [12] A. Filleron, E. Jeziorski, A.L. Michon, M. Rodière, H. Marchandin. [analesdepediatria.org]

Perform descriptive epidemiology Describe the case data in terms of time, place, person, and draw an epidemiological curve to display the number of cases by day of onset. [health.nsw.gov.au]

Pathophysiology

The group a streptococcus are beta haemolytic cocci able to produce some exotoxins and also contain many surface antigens that play a vital role in its pathophysiology such as m proteins. [youtube.com]

Pathophysiology and predisposing factors The pathophysiology of STSS is based on bacterial toxins. [annalsofintensivecare.springeropen.com]

It may corroborate a pivotal role of the circulatory failure in the pathophysiology of S. pyogenes-PF. [ann-clinmicrob.biomedcentral.com]

Recent interest in the pathophysiology of this disorder has focused on the role of streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxins (SPEs), extracellular products of group A streptococci that mediate not only scarlatiniform-like rashes but also multi-organ damage and [antimicrobe.org]

Prevention

However, there is still controversy about its prevention. [web.archive.org]

[…] in pregnant mothers in Fiji to prevent serious bacterial infections in their babies. [mcri.edu.au]

Detecting vaginal (and in some countries also rectal) colonisation by GBS in pregnant women is the most effective strategy to prevent infection transmission during baby delivery. [chromagar.com]
