To review epidemiological trends of invasive group A streptococcal disease and describe fulminant pediatric presentations to enhance early clinical recognition and timely management.
Analyzed national epidemiological data on streptococcal morbidity and septicemia in Russia from 2014 to 2022 alongside global trends.
Investigated two pediatric cases presenting with acute respiratory symptoms using standard clinical laboratory testing and deep DNA sequencing of microbial isolates.
Streptococcal septicemia cases peaked in Russia in 2022, accounting for 69% of all reported cases documented across the 2014–2022 surveillance window.
Deep DNA sequencing of biological isolates from the pediatric cases identified Streptococcus pyogenes sequence type ST-28 with serotypes emm-1.25 and emm-1.0.
