Letter to Archives of Disease in Childhood from Liz Whittaker (Imperial College London) and Kat Longbottom (Glasgow), highlighting potential surge in post streptococcal conditions including Sydenham’s chorea after last year’s spike in group A streptococcal infections.
They highlight how these conditions can all be difficult to diagnose and to link to previous streptococcal infection.
They encourage UK clinicians to report cases via their survey here.
