摘要：
Beginning in October 2022, we observed a substantial increase in the total number of cases of invasive group A Streptococcus (GAS) disease in the pediatric population in Houston, Texas. Emm12 GAS strains were disproportionately represented but the overall proportion of invasive GAS infections observed during the current spike was similar to prepandemic years.
