Circumoral pallor and strawberry tongue may be present as the disease resolves. Scarlett fever usually occurs with acute pharyngitis although it can also follow group A strep pyoderma or wound infections. [nccid.ca]
The rash is seen best on the abdomen or lateral chest and as dark red lines in skinfolds (Pastia lines) or as circumoral pallor. [msdmanuals.com]
Scarlet Fever: Scarlet fever is characterized by high fever, circumoral pallor and a diffuse erythematous rash over the neck, trunk, face and limbs. There is a sandpaper consistency to the rash which blanches with pressure. [antimicrobe.org]

These toxins do not only influence many parts of the body, they can also do so in many different ways, ranging from mildly irritating to deadly. [study.com]
Invasive infection often includes fever, chills, and irritability. Headache, stiff neck, confusion, sleepiness, vomiting, and poor feeding can occur with meningitis. How soon after exposure do symptoms appear? The incubation period varies. [vdh.virginia.gov]

Symptoms of strep B infection in newborn babies usually develop within the first few hours or days of giving birth and include being floppy or unresponsive, poor feeding, grunting when breathing, and unusually fast or slow breathing and heartbeat. (6) [everydayhealth.com]

Symptoms and Types Some of the common symptoms of this infection include: Pain Fever Arthritis Lethargy Coughing Pneumonia Abscess(es) Difficulty swallowing due to swelling ( tonsillitis ) Causes Age often determines the propensity for developing this [petmd.com]
low blood pressure in babies aged between one week and a few months – fever, lethargy, irritability, poor feeding, seizures. [betterhealth.vic.gov.au]

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]
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]

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]
