Six hundred and seventy isolates from children with group A streptococcal infections from 1981 through 1990 were typed serologically and their antibiotic susceptibilities were determined. Productivity of streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxins was also investigated in some isolates. Four hundred and seventy-nine strains were isolated from patients with pharyngitis, 133 from those with scarlet fever, 35 from those with suppurative infection and 23 from those with non-suppurative disease. With immediate treatment (antibiotics were started at the same day throat swabs were taken) for 10 days, 5.3% of the patients with pharyngitis including scarlet fever had relapses and 13.4% of those patients had recurrences. Of the episodes of recurrences 15.7% were due to the same M serotype strains. Six patients had two episodes of scarlet fever. M type of isolate was different in the first and the second episode of each patient. Pyrogenic exotoxin type was unprecedented in the second episode of 4 out of 6 patients. M-typable and T-typable rates of isolates were 90.7% and 97.3%, respectively. Coincidence between M and T types was 73.3% (83.0% if including strains with the same and mixed T-type). Prevalent M-serotypes were 12 and 4, but M1, 3, or 28 was the most prevalent type of isolates in certain years. None of the 670 strains was resistant to penicillin G and cephalexin. Resistant rate of isolates to erythromycin and linecomycin was 26.5% in 1981 and 18.4% in 1982. But a marked decrease has noted since 1983 and only one has been resistant since 1986.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
