4 yrs son with g6pd def has strep tosilitis for 4 days which is highly contgius but all in fmly are fine.could it be stg spcfic for him due to g6pd?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely random: Family attack rates with strep A range from 1/4 to 1/32 depending on the season and personal infection control practices (hand washing,etc.) Some persons can also carry strep and never become infected. I wouldn't blame the G6PD for this, it likely has no bearing on it at all.
