A deadly bacterial infection caused by a rare flesh-eating bacteria, known as streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS), is rapidly spreading in Japan. The infection can kill within 48 hours and has reached record levels with 977 cases reported by June, surpassing last year's figures. Experts are puzzled by the surge in cases, as the country relaxed Covid-era restrictions. The disease triggers necrotising fasciitis and has a mortality rate of up to 30%. Health authorities are concerned about the alarming spread of this potentially fatal infection in Japan.
