BACKGROUND Streptococcus pyogenes or Group A streptococcus (GAS) causes several suppurative and non suppurative infections. In addition to pharyngitis and skin infections, GAS are also the causative agent of post-streptococcal infection syndromes such as acute rheumatic fever (ARF) and post-streptococcal glumerulonephritis (PSG). GAS frequently colonises in the throat of an asymptomatic person....

Fas ligand (FasL) is a cell membrane cytokine that can promote apoptosis through activation of Fas receptors. Fas receptor activation induces glomerular cell apoptosis in vivo and participates in tubular cell death during acute renal failure. However, there is little information on the expression of FasL in the kidney. This study reports that FasL mRNA and protein are present in normal mouse an...

Since the rheumatic fever and glumerulonephritis is as a result of pharyngitis following streptococcal hemolytica type A and a delay in its treatment can lead to other complications, and considering this fact that rheumatic fever is the main cause of heart disease, especially in lower ages in developing countries, and its prevention can decrease mortality, in this study the microorganism respon...
