Common symptoms include sore throat, fever, swollen lymph nodes, and skin rashes. Patients may also experience difficulty swallowing and general malaise.

Streptococcus is primarily transmitted through respiratory droplets from coughing or sneezing, as well as through direct contact with infected wounds or sores.
