Lots of us carry it in our throats and on our skin and it doesn\u2019t always result in illness. However, GAS does cause a number of infections, some mild and some more serious.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The most serious infections linked to GAS come from invasive group A strep, known as iGAS.<\/p>\n<p>These infections are caused by the bacteria getting into parts of the body where it is not normally found, such as the lungs or bloodstream. In rare cases an iGAS infection can be fatal.<\/p>\n<p>The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has confirmed an increase in cases of Group A Strep, especially in children under the age of 10 years old.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Dominic Mellon, Regional Deputy Director for UKHSA South West, spoke to BBC Points West about the symptoms to look out for and what parents should do:<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed_wrapper\"><iframe title=\"BBC Points West: Strep A - December 2022\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tbvz0l7ca0k?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Symptoms<\/h2>\n<p>Symptoms to look out for in your child include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sore throat<\/li>\n<li>Headache<\/li>\n<li>Fever<\/li>\n<li>A fine, pinkish or red body rash with a sandpapery feel.
