A case of acute rheumatic fever (ARF) in an Indigenous Maori child in New Zealand after Group A Streptococcus pyoderma and Group G Streptococcus pharyngitis is reported. The case demonstrates that ARF can develop in the absence of GAS pharyngitis and highlights a need for further research into the role of pyoderma and non-Group A Streptococci infections in ARF pathogenesis.
据报道，一名新西兰毛利族儿童在患有A组化脓性链球菌脓疱病和G组链球菌咽炎后发生了急性风湿热（ARF）。该病例表明，在没有A组链球菌咽炎的情况下也可能发生ARF，并突出了对脓疱病和非A组链球菌感染在ARF发病机制中的作用进行进一步研究的必要性。
