En la Argentina se produjo este año un brote epidémico por la bacteria Streptococcus pyogenes que llevó a que se diagnosticaran más personas afectadas por faringitis e infecciones invasivas.

En países de Europa, Estados Unidos y Uruguay el brote se había identificado en diciembre del año pasado, y hubo un alerta de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS).

“La razón es que están circulando cepas más virulentas de la bacteria”, explicó a Infobae el doctor Eduardo López, director de la carrera de especialista en infectología pediátrica de la Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA).

Dolor de garganta

Fiebre

Puntitos blancos en la garganta ( secreción pultácea )

Manchitas rojas en el paladar

Presencia de ganglios inflamados a nivel cervical

Manchas en la piel

Dolor abdominal

Los síntomas

Los expertos advierten que la pandemia podría ser uno de los factores que ha facilitado el avance de la bacteria.

¿Cuál es el vínculo de esta bacteria con el COVID-19?

Con hisopado. Los métodos rápidos brindan el resultado en 20 minutos. La desventaja es que son caros y que, si dan negativo, deben confirmarse con cultivo.

¿Cómo se detecta?

Ante la presencia confirmada de la bacteria, el tratamiento antibiótico de elección es la penicilina. Para los pacientes alérgicos a la penicilina se recomienda usar eritromicina, claritromicina o azitromicina.
