A deadly bacteria, which can cause scarlet fever, sepsis and organ failure, is spreading in Japan.
Group A Streptococcus spreads through droplets breathed into the air, or skin-to-skin contact A rare ‘flesh-eating’ bacterial infection with a 30% chance of death is spreading at a record rate in Japan. Streptococcal A bacteria is best known for causing strep throat in children, but a more severe form of the bacteria is causing concern as it spreads. Japan saw record levels of the deadliest form of streptococcus last year, with 941 confirmed cases of streptococcal toxic shock syndrome .
’ Why is STSS surging in Japan? The exact cause of the recent rise in cases of STSS in Japan is unclear, but ‘there’s no doubt that something has happened in Japan’, Prof Sriskandan said. ‘It’s made people sit up and notice.’ She suggests Japan is currently going through a post-Covid rise in illness like the UK experienced in December 2022.
