Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Invasive group A Streptococcus (iGAS) infections have increased worldwide following the COVID-19 pandemic, whereas recent clinical and molecular characteristics in Japan remain unclear. METHODS: We conducted a hospital-based descriptive study of iGAS cases identified through active surveillance in Okinawa, Japan, from January 2023 to May 2025. Hospitalized patients with Streptococcus pyogenes isolated...
