Dangerous stuff be sure she gets plenty of rest, good food and juices and takes all of her medications.\n\nIf you do not treat this effectively she can get glomerulonephritis : kidney failure \n\nAcute glomerulonephritis often occurs after a streptococcal infection, such as strep throat. When this is the cause, the condition is called acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis (APSGN), or postinfectious glomerulonephritis. It can also occur when certain toxins, such as paints or glues, are inhaled and then excreted through the urine. While chronic glomerulonephritis occurs as a symptom of certain diseases, its cause is not known.

Streptococcal sore throat, also called strep throat, is an infection of the mucous membranes lining the pharynx. Strep throat is caused by bacteria. Sometimes the tonsils are also infected (tonsillitis). \n\nStrep throat accounts for between five and ten percent of all sore throats. Although anyone can get strep throat, it is most common in school age children. People who smoke, who are fatigued, run down, or who live in damp, crowded conditions are also more likely to become infected. Children under age two and adults who are not around children are less likely to get the disease. \n\nStrep throat occurs most frequently from November to April. \n\nHow is Strep Throat Transmitted?\n\nStrep Throat is transmitted directly from person to person by coughing, sneezing, and close contact. Very occasionally the disease is passed through food, when a food handler infected with strep throat accidentally contaminates food by coughing or sneezing. \n\nWhat causes Strep Throat?\n\nStrep Throat is caused by group A Streptococcus bacteria.

Strep throat is a bacterial infection of the tissues in the back of the throat and the tonsils. The tissues become irritated and inflamed, causing a sudden, severe sore throat.\n\nStrep throat is caused by streptococcal (strep) bacteria. There are many different strains of strep bacteria, some of which cause more serious illness than others. The type of strep that most commonly infects the throat is called group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus (GABS). Other types that can sometimes infect the throat are groups C and G strep bacteria.

Rheumatic fever (RF) is an illness characterized by the presence of one or more of the following findings: arthritis, carditis (cardiac inflammation), rash, chorea (abnormal movements), and subcutaneous nodules. The clinical manifestations are a direct consequence of a throat infection caused by the group A beta-hemolytic Streptococcus bacteria, which causes Strep throat.\nSubcutaneous nodules are small (less than 1 cm) bumps, found mostly over bony areas, usually seen in recurrent attacks, and have an incidence of about 3-10%. Patients who have nodules usually also have severe heart disease. Nodules usually disappear in 1-2 weeks.

Per Wikipedia: "The spirochaetes (or spirochetes) are a phylum of distinctive bacteria, which have long, helically coiled cells. They are distinguished by the presence of flagella running lengthwise between the cell membrane and cell wall, called axial filaments. These cause a twisting motion which allows the spirochaete to move about. Most spirochaetes are free-living and anaerobic, but there are numerous exceptions."
