Reply to comment by Nice_Sun_7018 in If strep A can produce necrotizing fasciitis, how come strep throat with any cuts on your mouth and tongue does not translate to it? Is it because the saliva has antibacterial qualities? by 4_max_4
You are 100% correct. I am a doctor who works mostly in urgent care. One of the sickest people I have ever treated came in with a septic infection that had its origin in his teeth.
He had several surgeries over the next few days and spent 3 weeks in the intensive care unit. Survived, but it was really damned close.
