Abstract

Since 1987 the number of severe and fatal cases of group A-beta-hemolytic streptococci (GAS) infections has increased in Scandinavia. It therefore seems reasonable to stress the monitoring, diagnosis and treatment of infections caused by GAS. Treatment with phenoxymethylpenicillin for ten days is recommended for patients with uncomplicated disease. Patients with severe disease should be treated with benzylpenicillin intravenously. We discuss alternative antibiotics, treatment of immunological complications, and general hygienic precautions.
