A 14-week-old Holstein heifer with a 48-hour history of left tarsocrural joint effusion was referred for evaluation when lameness developed 24 hours after needle aspiration was attempted at the farm.

Objective: Group A Streptococcus (GAS) are Gram-positive cocci that colonize the nasopharynx and/or skin and in rare cases may cause severe invasive infections.
