AB  - Resurgence of severe infection, caused by Streptococcus pyogenes was observed in 
      the USA from the middle of the 1980s. Toxic Shock like Syndrome due to 
      Streptococcus pyogenes (TSLS) has been one of the most life-threatening diseases 
      with soft tissue infections, such as necrotizing fasciitis, myositis, bacteremia 
      and shock. Patients with TSLS has been reported in Europe, USA, Canada, etc. The 
      first report of TSLS in Japan was described by Y. Shimizu and his colleague, 
      Asahi General Hospital, Chiba, 1992. Since then more cases of TSLS, diagnosed by 
      CDC's Criteria, have been found in various parts of Japan, including Chiba 
      prefecture. They are characterised by rapid development of shock and death. Some 
      of the isolated strains from blood or tissues have been identified as S. 
      pyogenes, M3, M1 with SPEA (Streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxin A).
