Description
Marta Martorell and a broad team track invasive group A streptococcus in Catalonia in 2026 across two epidemic seasons. Just under six hundred confirmed cases were logged from late 2022 to late 2024. Rates, clinical traits, and death risks were compared by season and age. The first season held more than twice the cases of the second.
Incidence fell from above five to near two per hundred thousand people. Children led rates in year one, while adults led in year two. Chest fluid buildup marked child cases, while skin and soft tissue spread marked adult ones. Virus co-infections clustered in children, and age plus kidney disease raised death risk.
