Strep A can cause a range of illnesses. Most cases are mild - a sore throat or a skin infection that can be easily treated with antibiotics. Very rarely, strep A can cause something called invasive group A streptococcal infection or iGAS, which can be deadly. Most of the those affected in the school are young children with 21 cases in primary one and two classes and a further 11 spread across other classes.
