Group A Streptococcus(GAS) is one of the most common cause of pediatric infection. Although known invasive GAS infections such as, meningitis, pneumonia and osteomyelitis are rare, there has been an increasing incidence of invasive GAS infections recently. Invasive GAS infections, including GAS meningitis can be easily treated if diagnosed early. However, delayed diagnosis and treatment may be fatal. We experienced one case of GAS meningitis. Although a few cases of GAS meningitis have been reported worldwide, it seems to be the first report from Korea.
