RESUMO
The faucial carrying of Streptococcus pyogenes in patients presenting impetigo was determined as a risk factor for non-suppurative complications (acute glomerulonephritis). The fauces cultures of these patients revealed a S. pyogenes colonization of 65 and all the isolates were penicillin-sensitive. It was concluded that the high percent of faucial colonization made a systemic antimicrobial treatment necessary.
