Abstract
Open AccessStreptococcal toxic shock syndrome in children is a severe complication of group A Streptococcus infection, characterized by acute shock and multiple organ dysfunction. It is a critical illness with high mortality, and early diagnosis and treatment are key to improving prognosis. Children with this syndrome have a higher risk of death, and the pathogenesis is complex. This review summarizes the pathogenesis and recent advances in the diagnosis and treatment of streptococcal toxic shock syndrome caused by group A Streptococcus infection in children, aiming to improve clinical outcomes and reduce mortality.
