Read previewIn Japan, cases of an uncommon but deadly bacterial infection have spiked in recent months, concerning health officials, the Washington Post reported. At least 77 deaths have been reported due to these STSS infections, with most fatal cases occurring in people over 50. Since the coronavirus pandemic, health officials worldwide have expressed concern about increasing bacterial and viral infection rates. In 2022, UK health officials reported 19 child deaths due to group-A streptococcal infections, the same bacteria that causes STSS. Vaccines could help prevent the spread of these rare but potentially deadly bacterial infections, health experts said.

☆ Japan reports record spike in potentially deadly bacterial infection

CNN —Cases of a dangerous and highly fatal bacterial infection have reached record levels in Japan, official figures show, with experts so far unable to pinpoint the reason for the rise. STSS is a rare but serious bacterial infection that can develop when bacteria spread into deep tissues and the bloodstream. In March, Japanese authorities warned of a jump in STSS cases. The reason for this year’s rise in cases of STSS in Japan remains unclear, according to Japanese public broadcaster NHK. “So, more people are now susceptible to infection, and that may be one reason for the sharp rise in cases.”
