Japan's Surge in 'Flesh-Eating Bacteria' Cases: Over 1,000 Reported as of Mid-June 2024

Broke On: Monday, 17 June 2024 Over 1,000 cases of Streptococcal Toxic Shock Syndrome (STSS), a rare and potentially deadly bacterial infection, have been reported in Japan as of mid-June 2024, surpassing the previous year's total. The Group A Streptococcus bacteria cause this severe infection, leading to symptoms like fever and organ failure within 24 to 48 hours. Practicing good hygiene and seeking medical attention for any signs of infection can prevent the progression to STSS. Diagnosis involves blood tests, and treatment includes antibiotics, fluid stabilization, and potentially surgery.
