However, in addition to this post-infection immunologically mediated disorder, in recent years there have been increasing reports of GAS causing acute renal failure as part of an invasive infection with many features of the staphylococcal toxic shock syndrome (28) .	./cache/cord-017012-yl0vanuh.txt	./txt/cord-017012-yl0vanuh.txt
