Digging Into Invasive Group A Strep

Date and time:

Tuesday, April 30

12:30 to 1:15 p.m. MT

Description:

Children's Hospital Colorado is excited to announce the next session of our new provider forum: Pediatric Download. Pediatric Download is a virtual discussion that occurs every other month, on trending child health topics with pediatric specialists from Children’s Colorado. These timely conversations are an opportunity for primary care providers to hear the latest pediatric health updates and directly pose questions to specialists.
 
This April we will dig into Invasive Group A Strep (iGAS) and discuss the many ways it can present in children. Our experts, Samuel Dominguez, MD, and Erin Ho, MD, will share best practices for recognizing and treating iGAS, with a particular focus on streptococcal toxic shock syndrome and necrotizing fasciitis. They will also highlight global changes in epidemiologic trends since COVID, including a large recent iGAS outbreak here at Children’s Colorado.

You can submit questions to our panel in advance by emailing Physicianrelations@childrenscolorado.org.
