摘要: We describe an outbreak among drug users of severe soft-tissue infections caused by a clonal strain group A streptococcus M-type 25. Cases (n = 19) in were defined as (mainly needle abscesses) due to the strain. Comparison with controls showed that infected bought drugs more often at specific place. Drug purchase and use habits may have contributed this outbreak.
