Japan Reports Cases Of Deadly Flesh Eating Bacteria
Japan is facing a surge in cases of a rare and deadly flesh-eating bacterial infection, Streptococcal Toxic Shock Syndrome, following the easing of COVID 19 restrictions. This year, nearly 1,000 cases have been reported, surpassing last year's total. It is caused by Group A Streptococcus bacteria can kill within 48 hours due to rapid tissue necrosis and multi-organ failure. Initial symptoms include fever, muscle pain, and vomiting, quickly escalating to life-threatening conditions. Tokyo Women's Medical University professor Ken Kikuchi, suggests weakened immunity post-COVID 19 may be a factor. Japan's Health Ministry reported 977 cases by June 2, with a mortality rate up to 30%, and 77 deaths between January and March. Japan is actively working to control the outbreak with public awareness campaigns. Japan is actively working to control the outbreak with public awareness campaigns.
