Impetigo,Pharyngitis (step throat),Erysipelas ,scarlett fever,Toxic like syndrome,necrotizing fascitis,Rheumatic Fever, Post Strep Glomerulonephritis.
Strep Group A
Strep Pyogenes
red lesion with well demarcated borders
Erysipelas
S Pyogenes is the most common cause of
Erysipelas
Strawberry Tongue,pharyngitis,widespread rash that spares faces

Toxic Shock Like Syndrome by Strep Pyogenes
SpeB
Necrotizing Fasciitis toxin from S.Pyogenes
in GAS well main virulence factor for Rheumatic Fever
M Protein
mimic antibodies in heart and cause issues with Mitral Valve in heart
M Protein
Very antigenic and elicits a humoral response, creating an antibodies to myosin in cardiac muscle (Molecular mimicry), damages mitral valves
M protein
Pharyngitis precipitates
Rheumatic Fever
Impetigo + Pharyngitis
Post Strep Glomerulonephritis,
Clinical manifestations of Rheumatic Fever
"J<3NES" J = Joints O = Heart problems N= Nodules on extersor surfaces E= Erythema S; Sydenham Chorea
type III hypersensitivity reaction after 2 weeks of Strep Pyogenes infection.

virulence Factors of Step Pyogenes
- M protein
- SpeA,SpeB,SpeC
- Streptolysin O
- DNA’ases
- Streptokinase
Allows Strep to be Beta Hemolytic, we generate ASO antibodies to this
Streptolysin O
converts plasminogen to plasmin
Streptokinase
depolymerize DNA
DNA’ases
Bacitracin sensitive
Strep Pyogenes
ASO titers test
