2 Quick Quiz
3 Group A Streptococcal Diseases Streptococcus pyogenes = Gp A streptococcus = GAS Pharyngitis Pyoderma Cellulitis Invasive Diseases Septicemia Pneumonia, osteomyelitis, septic arthritis, meningitis Puerperal sepsis # # Necrotising fasciitis Streptococcal toxic shock (like) syndrome - STSS Post-streptococcal sequelae Acute rheumatic fever (ARF) Glomerulonephritis (APSGN)
4 What determines GAS clinical disease?
5 What determines GAS clinical disease? Site of infection throat, skin Infecting organism load GAS strain factors >200 emm genotypes differential virulence genes; M protein & many more Host innate immunity & other genetic variabilities Host risk factors diabetes, renal disease, immunosuppression Host acquired immunity to GAS from prior infections cumulative strain-specific immunity with age some cross-protection amongst emm types; emm clusters Anti-toxin acquired immunity; eg anti-speb antibodies? can pan-immunity develop with age Access to hygiene & access to and timing of antibiotics

14 Pathogenesis of Acute Rheumatic Fever Organism factor(s) ( Rheumatogenicity ) Host factor(s) (Genetic susceptibility) Abnormal immune response Acute rheumatic fever
15 Age and Gp A streptococcal sequelae John Mathews drew this many years back.
16 Throat and skin and ARF and APSGN? ARF Skin GAS?? priming Throat GAS APSGN
17 Strep infection of throat Acute rheumatic fever Recurrent ARF Rheumatic heart disease Heart Failure Stroke, endocarditis Cardiac surgery Death
18 Key Performance Indicators? No child in Australia dying from complications of ARF/RHD
