Group A streptococcal infection (SGA) is an acute infectious disease caused by the \u03b2-hemolytic streptococcus group A (Streptococcus pyogenes). These organisms can cause a wide range of illnesses, from mild forms such as pharyngitis and tonsillitis to severe forms such as sepsis and necrotizing fasciitis. The infection often presents with pronounced symptoms, including sore throat, fever, purulent plugs in the tonsils, and general malaise. The infection can also lead to complications such as rheumatic fever and poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis. Spread of group A streptococci in the population occurs primarily through the airborne route, as well as through contact with objects that may have become contaminated.<\/p>\n
