Streptococcus dysgalactiae subspecies equisimilis infection is an emerging pathogen. Cutaneous and systemic manifestations resemble those of other pyogenic streptococci. However, the rapid group A antigen detection test used to diagnose Streptococcus pyogenes infection is usually negative, making the diagnosis difficult. If clinical suspicion of streptococcal infection is high, a tonsillar culture should be performed to confirm the diagnosis.
无乳链球菌似马亚种感染是一种新兴的病原体。其皮肤和全身表现类似于其他化脓性链球菌。然而,用于诊断化脓性链球菌感染的快速 A 群抗原检测试验通常为阴性,这使得诊断变得困难。如果临床高度怀疑链球菌感染,应进行扁桃体培养以确认诊断。
