    Author: Hamour A, Bonnington A, Wilkins EG.
    Journal: J Infect; 1994 Jul; 29(1):77-81. PubMed ID: 7963639.
    Abstract:
    In recent years frequent and severe infections due to group A beta-haemolytic streptococci have been recognised with increasing frequency. Group A streptococcal pneumonia remains a rare disease occurring sporadically in contrast to epidemics in the past. The association between group A streptococcal pneumonia and a desquamating skin rash typical of scarlet fever has rarely been reported.
