One person in Greater Manchester has been diagnosed with Strep A, the UK Health Agency has confirmed. The confirmation comes as UK health officials announce the the deaths of six young children and a rise in cases.
While the vast majority of infections are relatively mild, sometimes the bacteria cause a life-threatening illness called invasive Group A Streptococcal disease. The list mainly includes diseases like Legionnaires, Monkeypox and some largely eradicated illnesses like Smallpox and TB. The latest list also shows that a person in Oldham has contracted invasive group A streptococcal disease, or Strep A.
It said there is no current evidence that a new strain is circulating and the rises are most likely due to high amounts of circulating bacteria and social mixing.
