Which conditions are known sequelae of GABHS infection?

The correct answer highlights sequelae associated with Group A beta-hemolytic streptococcal (GABHS) infections, specifically peritonsillar abscess, glomerulonephritis, and rheumatic fever.

Peritonsillar abscess is a serious condition that can occur following a GABHS infection, typically manifesting as complications from tonsillitis. The infection can spread to the surrounding tissues, leading to the formation of an abscess, which may require drainage and antibiotics for treatment.

Glomerulonephritis is a kidney condition that can follow a GABHS infection, particularly after skin infections or streptococcal pharyngitis. In this case, antibodies produced in response to the streptococcal infection can mistakenly attack the kidneys, resulting in inflammation and damage to the glomeruli.

Rheumatic fever is another significant sequela arising from GABHS infections, notably following untreated strep throat. It is an autoimmune response that can lead to inflammation in various body tissues, especially the heart, joints, skin, and brain—highlighting the serious long-term impact of GABHS.
