Group A streptococcus (GAS), also known as strep A is a common bacteria which causes infections such as tonsillitis and scarlet fever. These symptoms are usually mild and rarely become serious.

Strep A can however cause a rare, and more serious infection known as invasive Group A strep (iGAS). This happens when GAS bacteria get into parts of the body where it is not normally found, like the lungs or bloodstream.
