LCLaura CornelissenSciensano (Belgium)FKFrederik De KeersmaekerSciensano (Belgium)SKSien De Koster

Key Points

Invasive infections of Streptococcus pyogenes remain high, affecting children's health in Belgium.
Surveillance reveals levels stayed elevated for up to two years after interventions were lifted.
Continued monitoring is essential to identify factors contributing to infection rates.
Multiple factors likely contribute to sustained high infection levels in this population.

Abstract

Levels of iGAS infections remained high up to 2 years after lifting nonpharmaceutical interventions, and this increase is undoubtedly multifactorial. Continued high-quality surveillance is required to follow up the situation.
