    Objectives This study aims to evaluate the outbreak's impact on emergency services, with findings obtained from patients who applied to our pediatric emergency service before and during the pandemic period. Methods In this study, the Pediatric Emergency Polyclinic of Hatay Mustafa Kemal University (MKU) Department of Pediatrics was evaluated during the COVID-19 pre -pandemic period and the COVID-19 pandemic period. Demographic features, complaints, discharge situations, diagnostic groups, and diagnoses of 16,730 nontraumatic patients one month to 18 years old were compared retrospectively. Results Comparing the pre -pandemic period and the pandemic period, it was determined that there was a statistically significant difference in the average age of patients, age groups, admission hours, triage classification, complaints, and diagnoses seen. Conclusion According to the findings obtained in the study, pediatric emergency department admissions decreased significantly during the pandemic period. As a result of the pandemic measures taken, the incidence of diseases caused by infectious agents, such as respiratory tract infections, decreased. The change in pediatric emergency service habits with the pandemic highlights the importance of conducting more comprehensive epidemiological studies in terms of more efficient and effective use of pediatric emergency health services in Turkey.

    Group A streptococcus (GAS) infections are often associated with pharyngitis, skin and soft tissue infection, but may have a variety of presentations that can lead to bacteremia, necrotizing fasciitis, and Streptococcal Toxic Shock Syndrome (STSS). Invasive GAS infections are seen most commonly in infancy and if they are not managed well, mortality is high. Therefore, they should be immediately diagnosed and treated successfully. In this study, it was aimed to report a patient admitted to our hospital complaining of high fever and rash, followed with an initial diagnosis of pneumonia and sepsis, and later diagnosed as invasive streptococcal infection. By presenting this case, we aimed to emphasize the wide range of GAS infections and their treatment properly.
