Streptococcus is a bacterium which is commonly found in the throat. It can give you strep throat, rheumatic fever, scarlet fever, or tonsillitis. There are two groups, group A and B
Clinical manifestations of Streptococcus Group A infection can include sore throat, fever, swollen lymph nodes, and sometimes a rash called scarlet fever. In severe cases, complications like rheumatic fever or poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis can occur. Prompt treatment with antibiotics is essential to prevent these complications.
The streptozyme test is used to detect antibodies in the blood that are associated with various streptococcal infections, including strep throat and rheumatic fever. It helps diagnose these infections and determine the appropriate treatment.
Rheumatic fever is actually your body's severe inflammatory reaction. It is first caused by an infection with Streptococcus bacteria. it's kind of a late complication, so that even with treatment with antibiotics, the heart is often damaged, and you may still have joint pains, etc.
In 2002, a report announced that scientists had mapped the genome (genetic material) of an A streptococcus bacterium responsible for acute rheumatic fever.
The scientific name for rheumatic fever is acute rheumatic fever.
