Soft tissue infections were common among infants (10\/29, 34.5%), while ear\/sinus infections were more prevalent in children\u2009\u2265\u20093 years (21\/42, 50.0%). The overall case fatality rate (CFR) was 16.2% (12\/74). High risk of death was found in patients with shock or systemic complications, young children(&lt;\u20093 years) and cases related to hematogenic spread. The predominate cause of death was shock(6\/8). Among the 163 patients included in case series studies, ear\/sinus infections ranged from 21.4 to 62.5%, while STSS\/shock ranged from 12.5 to 35.7%, and the CFR ranged from 5.9 to 42.9%.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A history of varicella, soft tissue infections, parameningeal infections and CSF leaks are important clinical clues to GAS in children with meningitis.
