I'm hoping to get some help from other users about Strep A in Turkey. Does anyone here know if Strep A exists in Turkey? I've heard that it can be found in certain areas, but I'm not sure if this is true. I'm also interested in finding out if there have been any studies conducted about Strep A in Turkey, or if there are any statistics available on the prevalence of the infection in the country. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
