The HSE is investigating whether the death of a four-year-old boy in Ireland was caused by infections from the bacteria group A streptococcus (strep A). These infections range from minor illnesses to very serious and life-threatening illnesses.
Although the cause of the child's death has not yet been formally determined, Strep A is being "actively researched" as the cause of death, said Dr. Eamon Omur says
According to O'Moore, there have been 55 confirmed cases of invasive Strep A in Ireland. He claimed that one-third of these cases involved youth. The doctor reported that the deaths of two elderly people were linked to Strep A.
He went on to state the rise in strep A cases across the country. According to the doctor, the child died in Area A, which covers north Dublin and the north-east of the country.
Antibiotics can be used to treat mild strep A infections, but some people still experience severe illness, including scarlet fever. Flu-like symptoms can also result in a rash. Occasionally, an infection can lead to an aggressive group. Acute streptococcal infection or GAS (group A streptococcus).

A 5-year-old Northern girl has reportedly died from a condition linked to a bacterial infection called Strep A. The little boy was in intensive care at the Royal Belfast Hospital after falling ill last week.
Parents at the school received a letter from the Public Health Agency (PHA) informing them that one of the students had a severe case of Strep A and requested that their children attend a clinic and take a prophylactic course of antibiotics.
Schools in the UK are on high alert due to a rise in Strep A-related illnesses. Another 8 young people have died from strep A in England and Wales.
Last week, the Public Health Agency warned people in Northern Ireland to watch out for symptoms of strep A and scarlet fever. Scarlet fever was found in schools in Antrim, Belfast, Bangor and Craigavon, the study said. Scarlet fever is a bacterial disease that mainly affects children. It forms a distinctive pink-red rash. Streptococcus pyogenes, also known as group A streptococcus, is a bacteria found in the skin and throat.
