Spike in deadly strep infections linked to wave of #flu, #RSV in US kids
Group A strep is known to piggyback on viral infections.
Health officials in #Colorado and #Minnesota documented an unusual spike in deadly, invasive infections from #Streptococcus bacteria late last year, according to a study published this week by the #CDC.
The spike is yet another oddity of post-pandemic disease transmission, but one that points to a simple prevention strategy: flu shots.

A one-year-old boy in NSW has had to have limbs amputated as a result of a devastating illness spreading in Australia.
Cases of Strep A, also known as group A Streptococcus, have doubled in Western Australia in the past 3 months and Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria have all seen a spike in cases too.

Increase in invasive group A streptococcal (#Streptococcus pyogenes) infections (iGAS) in young #children in the Netherlands, 2022
๐ A more than twofold increase in the annual number of notifiable invasive group A streptococcal (iGAS) infections compared to the annual average in the pre-COVID-19 pandemic years was observed in the Netherlands in 2022. This increase was even higher children aged 0-5 years, with 42 iGAS notifications in this age group in 2022.

Lots of different kinds of bacteria can cause bacterial meningitis, the disease that Jeff Beck died of recently (https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2023/01/12/health/bacterial-meningitis-explained-wellness/index.html). Many bacteria that are implicated, e. g. #Ecoli (not K-12), #streptococcus and #mycobacteriumtuberculosis, are in biocyc.org.
