Prognostic factors in patients hospitalised with group A Streptococcus bacteraemia in tropical Australia
Patients with GAS bacteraemia who have hypotension, raised serum lactate, lymphopenia and hypoalbuminaemia at presentation are at greater risk of a complicated course. Individuals with STSS and necrotising fasciitis are at the greatest risk of death, emphasising the importance of considering - and actively excluding - these diagnoses in the appropriate clinical context.
