Role of viral coinfection in post-pandemic invasive Group A streptococcal infections in adults, a nation-wide cohort study (iGASWISS)
The post-COVID iGAS surge in Switzerland was associated with high levels of morbidity and mortality in immunocompetent adults. M1UK was predominant within the iGAS strains circulating in Switzerland during the study period and viral coinfection was a predictor for ICU admission and mortality.
