Japan warns of increasing cases of serious streptococcal infection that can cause toxic shock syndrome and death. The National Institute of Infectious Diseases of Japan has not been able to find the reasons for the increase in cases that have occurred in the Japanese country.

Many experts attribute the high rate of infections and their severity to the restrictions taken during the coronavirus and the resulting lack of immunity. The normal thing is that those infected do not know that they have this bacteria or they simply develop mild symptoms such as small sore throats.
