Clinical Significance
Perianal streptococcal cellulitis is an inflammation of the anus and rectum caused by Streptococcus bacteria.
Perianal streptococcal cellulitis usually occurs in children, often with or after strep throat, nasopharyngitis, or streptococcal skin infection (impetigo).
Children may infect the skin around the anus while cleaning the area after using the toilet or by scratching with hands that have bacteria from their mouth or nose.
