iGAS had given my little family a nasty and unexpected hit over Easter, luckily we survived but now wondering what is the driver of increasing infection?

I'm on the edge about my daughter's SIXTH documented case of . ENT requires SEVEN documented cases, and I'm so frustrated.

Of course I don't want to subject my child to unnecessary surgical procedures, but her snoring and repeated, nearly back-to-back cases of strep have affected her physically, emotionally, and academically with missed school.

I have made appt with alt doc to discuss possibility of exception for .

Sigh.

Infection with Streptococcus pyogenes after childbirth can have life threatening consequences. Here, Catton et al. show that the epidemiologically associated bacterial R28 protein targets the human CEACAM1 receptor to facilitate the pathogenesis of bacterial sepsis.

Great overview of the pandemic.

"COVID-19 causes turnover and aging of the immune cells responsible for responding to both COVID-19 and other pathogens"

[...]

"This immune dysfunction or aging is at least one of the most likely scenarios explaining the recent surges in diseases like RSV, influenza, Strep A, and other infections"

Invasive () has trippled in 🇩🇰Denmark during the last month. @SSI_dk@twitter.com thinks its because of “immunity debt” from “Covid lockdowns”. Thoughts?

Wow Strep A. infections in Denmark are shooting up... very concerning, especially for high-risk families.

@ONS@twitter.com is the UK data similar?

RT @CBroendsholmA@twitter.com

My 7yr old daughter tested positive for today. She has missed so many schooldays since she started school in august. Now she is on antibiotics. Again. And if anybody mentions “immunity debt” or “lockdowns” to me one more time I will explode.
