So I cancelled my cosmetic surgery due to STREPTOCCOCUS group G found in my throat, It seems that this group of STREP is able to cause streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS), infections similar to GABHS, such as pharyngitis, skin and soft tissue infection, sepsis, toxic shock, reactive arthritis, necrotizing fasciitis,etc It seems that there are reported cases of patients dying after surgeries because of it. Am I in danger or not ? I have it in throat... no symptom, what should I do ?
