A classic sequela of Group A strep infection is:

Gastritis
Hepatitis
Encephalitis
Glomerulonephritis

The correct answer is: Glomerulonephritis

A classic sequela of Group A strep infection is glomerulonephritis. This condition typically occurs following a streptococcal throat or skin infection. The streptococcal bacteria produce antigens that can deposit in the glomeruli of the kidneys, triggering an inflammatory response that can lead to glomerulonephritis. This is a well-known complication of Group A strep infections and is an important consideration for clinicians managing patients with these infections. Option A, gastritis, involves inflammation of the stomach lining and is not a classic sequela of Group A strep infection. Option B, hepatitis, refers to inflammation of the liver and is not a typical consequence of Group A strep infection. Option C, encephalitis, is inflammation of the brain, which is not commonly associated with Group A strep infections.
