本文描述了1968年10月在一所大学发生的一起由G群链球菌毒力株引起的咽炎流行。502名学生中临床咽炎的发病率为31%。症状和主要身体表现与A组链球菌呼吸道感染相似，并包括相当数量的患病学生发展为渗出性咽炎。一项流行病学调查表明，此次暴发是通过食物传播的，并将鸡蛋沙拉列为传播媒介。尽管治疗失败率很高，在许多患病的学生中出现了显著的抗链球菌溶血素0反应，但没有检测到类似于A组链球菌产生的后遗症。
An epidemic of pharyngitis due to a virulent strain of group-G streptococci at a college in October, 1968, is described. The attack-rate for clinical pharyngitis among the 502 members of the student body was 31%. The symptoms and predominant physical findings were similar to those produced by group-A streptococcal respiratory-tract infections and included the development of exudative pharyngitis in a significant number of the ill students. An epidemiological investigation indicated that the outbreak was food-borne and incriminated an egg salad as the vehicle of transmission. Despite a high treatment-failure rate and the development of significant antistreptolysin 0 responses in many of the ill students, no sequelæ similar to those produced by group-A streptococci were detected.
