Abstract
Anal fissure in childhood usually heals quickly after treatment with stool softeners and a local anaesthetic ointment; infection does not usually occur. Two cases are reported in which Lancefield group A beta haemolytic streptococci were isolated from cultures from the perianal skin, which was erythematous and excoriated.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
