huge amount of recent interest in invasive group A streptococcus (iGAS) infection in children
but up until now little patient-level clinical data on this spike in cases
we hope our case series @TheLancetInfDis will help address this knowledge gap https://t.co/75kV7FVmST 1/n pic.twitter.com/ytKyRu8MYi— Thomas Christie Williams (@Williams_T_C) January 10, 2023
