There are high rates of Group A Strep and scarlet fever among children in Northern Ireland
A four-year-old child has died from an invasive form of Strep A in the Dublin area, the Health Service Executive has said.
Dr Eamonn O'Moore, director of the HSE's Health Protection Surveillance Centre, said: "The news of a child death with Strep A will be worrying for parents, but it's important to know that most children who get ill from Group A Strep infections will have a mild illness which can be treated with antibiotics.
New advice asks parents to be vigilant to the known symptoms and to act quickly if a child is seriously unwell, and is showing signs of their condition worsening.
