Like most illnesses caused by bacteria or viruses, "first cases" would not have been documented. Even today, physicians often only become aware of a new germ that infects humans by recognizing patterns of illness within a region, state, country or countries. Therefore, the first person to become ill with strep throat is an unknown. More likely, many people had been becoming ill for quite some time, until a physician-researcher or laboratory expert was able to isolate the bacteria that causes strep.
