I wonder will they cut the term short.Nine children have passed away now.
My son said he didn't want to go to school today, in case he caught Strep A
I can't wait for end of term.
Doubt it. Nine cases nationwide won't be viewed as urgent enough.I wonder will they cut the term short.
That’s only deaths there’s a lot more infections nationwide.Doubt it. Nine cases nationwide won't be viewed as urgent enough.
Would be interesting to see how many go for it.Evil!
A lot of people seem to think there is a link between the flu nasal spray and Strep A.Would be interesting to see how many go for it.
Step A can also cause glomerulonephritis three weeks post after infection. I've seen two different kids in our pediatrics department within just two weeks.

Definitely not, GPs can confirm SF and prescribe antibiotics without swab results. Schools/Nurseries will notify UKHSA of confirmed scarlet fever even in the absence of swab results. Swabs take days to process and report. I work in public health and would never advise anyone to delay treatment or reporting while awaiting swab results.Not always as regards Scarlet Fever, it's not very easy to disgnose by sight /symptoms alone ,they usually swab to make sure before contacting public health.

I can assure you that’s not always the case, I could see SF in my child when my GP could not, I was the one insisted on antibiotics they said he had a virus, the Belfast child that died was brought to A&E three times and sent home again.Definitely not, GPs can confirm SF and prescribe antibiotics without swab results.
