Group A streptococci are a subgroup of bacteria that cause bacterial infections in humans. These infections commonly occur in the skin or throat but can spread into the blood, joints, and brain.
Antibiotics are needed to kill the bacteria. If there's an abscess (pus collection), the doctor may cut or drain it. Severe cases may require hospitalization for monitoring and supportive treatment.

My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.

Male, 50s
The questions asked and possible causes seemed spot on, putting me at ease for a next-step solution.

I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
