Outbreak in The UK Has Killed 19 Children
1970-01-01

Three more children have died from Streptococcus A infection, according to British health authorities on December 15, local time. The recent outbreak of Streptococcus A in the UK has led to the deaths of 19 children.

Penicillin is the drug of choice for the treatment of Streptococcus A infections, but due to the recent surge in cases resulting in shortages, the British government issued a "critical shortage agreement" for penicillin on the 15th. According to the "severe shortage agreement", pharmacists can directly prescribe alternative drugs when there is no specified drug.

The symptoms of Streptococcus A infection usually include sore throat, headache, fever, muscle aches and pains.
