Two other children, victims of the same infection, one of whom is part of the same siblings of the victim, are currently hospitalized.


A three-year-old girl, hospitalized at the Bordeaux University Hospital for complications following angina, died on November 28, said France bleu.

The victim died of an invasive infection with strep A, the bacteria responsible for angina.

First taken care of at the Dax hospital, the little girl had been transferred to Bordeaux.

Originally from the south coast of the Landes, she did not suffer a priori from any other pathology.

According to our colleagues, two other children victims of the same infection, including a member of the girl's siblings, are hospitalized in serious condition.

The Nouvelle-Aquitaine Regional Health Agency has published a prevention message for parents.

“Consult at the first signs”

“In 99% of cases, there is no difficulty with angina,” recalled Didier Couteaud, the ARS representative in the Landes.

"However, in some cases, the disease can degenerate and can affect vital functions," he added.

The ARS calls on parents to quickly consult a doctor at the first symptoms related to angina.

“All the doctors in the sector are also seized, and we ask them to monitor the cases that there could be”, indicated Didier Couteaud to France bleu.

In the majority of cases, streptococci A cause many mild infections - angina, impetigo - but which can sometimes be "invasive" and serious.

According to information from BFMTV, British health authorities called for vigilance last week after the death of six children under the age of ten from invasive Strep A infections.
