Health problems triggered by Group A beta- haemolytic streptococcus:„A“:
Group A beta- haemolytic streptococcus causes up to 92 % of streptococcus illnesses in children which may include:
- cold; pink eye (conjunctivitis)
- barotitis (inflammation of the inner ear)
- nasosinusitis (inflammation of the paranasal sinuses)
- pharyngitis (strep throat)
- tonsillitis
- scarlet fever
- impetigo, erysipilas – streptococcal skin infections

In the era of broad-spectrum antibiotics we are able to successfully cure all of these illnesses providing that they are diagnosed in time. Belated diagnosis even nowadays exposes children to complications such as nephritis (inflammation of the kidney), rheumatic fever, meningitis (brain fever) and others which may pose a health risk or even be life-threatening.
