Abstract
The incidence of invasive Group A Streptococcus(iGAS) has varied throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. We reviewed iGAS infections in infants ≤1 year from 2012 to 2022. Twenty-five percent of cases occurred in the last quarter of 2022. Pneumonia (21.8%) was the most common presentation. Twenty-one patients (65.6%) were successfully transitioned to oral antibiotics.We reviewed cases of invasive Group A Streptococcus(iGAS) in infants <12 months of age over 11 years. Twenty-five percent of cases occurred in the final calendar quarter. While iGAS were associated with high morbidity, most were transitioned to oral antibiotics.
