DENVER – Two Denver metro children have died in the past month after contracting invasive group A strep, a rare bacterial infection, but what exactly caused their deaths remains unknown, according to the state’s health department.
“What we don't know yet, and we're still waiting for confirmation through the coroner process, is the final cause of death,” state epidemiologist Dr. Rachel Herlihy said Thursday. “It's really when the bacteria get beyond sort of our immune defenses that live at that interface of superficial, or non-sterile sites, and sterile sites,” Herlihy said. “When the bacteria get beyond that threshold, that's when we have these severe infections or invasive infections.”
“One of the scenarios that we've been seeing are children who have these preceding viral respiratory infections — COVID, RSV, flu — and then they start getting better, and then they get sick again or develop new symptoms. And that's really when we start worrying about these invasive bacterial infections,” Herlihy said.
