	I would check out the medical file on this one. There is a strep topic, but don't know if it goes into what you've asked. There must be something about pediatrics/children and strep. Not clear on 'beta strep' vs strep, but my sister had a strep infection recently that went undiagnosed for more than a few weeks, and they said she was lucky to be alive; the infection began to affect her joints and muscles, and could just as easily have hit her heart. I know there is no real comparison here, but it (strep) can be extremely bad. Good luck... Lorraine
