Ask an NP – Streptococcus Presentation

00:01 I think one of the most fun things I learned in pediatrics and was a big surprise to me is that you can actually have strep butt.

00:10 So what does that mean? We all know what strep throat is and I had a pediatric patient come in and the mom was real worried high fever and just started talking about the fact that her child's butt was red too and we swabbed it for strep, and sure enough, it was positive.

00:27 So turns out strep can be in the entire GI tract, who knew?
