Division of Dermatology, Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center, Tel Aviv, Israel.
A 3-year-old boy presented with an unusual combination of indurated skin, sclerotic plaques with lichenification, and yellowish papules. Histopathology revealed diffuse dermal mucin deposits, and laboratory tests showed a positive throat culture for Group A streptococcus and elevated serum anti-streptolysin titers. An 10-day course of oral amoxicillin was associated with near-complete resolution of all dermatological findings within 4 months.

The prevention and treatment of Rheumatic Heart disease is hinged on antibiotic administration in children with Group A (GAS) pharyngitis and Acute Rheumatic Fever (ARF). The Upper Limit of Normal (ULN) for serum Anti-streptolysin O titre (ASOT) has been employed as proof of antecedent GAS pharyngitis to fulfil the Jones' criteria for diagnosis of ARF. This value has not been generated among West African children.

Background: Pneumococcal vaccines have been available worldwide since the early 2000s; consequently, few reports exist of poststreptococcal acute glomerulonephritis (PSAGN) or complications of pneumococcal infection. We describe a patient with PSAGN and bacteremia with Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 22F (not covered by the 13-valent pneumococcal vaccine (PCV 13)).
Case Diagnosis/treatment: A 5-year-old boy received the PCV13 vaccine and was admitted to our hospital with a fever and gross hematuria.

Article Synopsis
- Post-streptococcal myalgia and myositis are rare complications associated with streptococcal infections, and there is limited data available about them, especially in terms of clinical imaging.* -
- A case study of a 31-year-old woman revealed significant muscle pain and changes in her thigh after a streptococcal throat infection and was diagnosed with post-streptococcal myositis through various lab tests and imaging techniques.* -
- This case marks the first report of ultrasound findings in this condition, suggesting that muscle ultrasound can be an effective tool for diagnosing post-streptococcal myalgia and myositis.*
Clinical Characteristics of Children with Acute Post-Streptococcal Glomerulonephritis and Re-Evaluation of Patients with Artificial Intelligence.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the use of AI, specifically ChatGPT, in the follow-up care of children diagnosed with acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis (APSGN), a common kidney condition caused by streptococcus infection.
- - Researchers analyzed 11 pediatric patients with APSGN, noting their clinical characteristics and evaluating the accuracy of ChatGPT's responses to specific medical questions about the condition and its management.
- - Findings suggest that ChatGPT provides accurate information regarding APSGN and can assist clinicians in decision-making and treatment planning for affected patients, potentially improving patient management.
