Hi,
Suggestive of systemic manifestations of strep infection.
As it may turn out to be multi-organ involvement, she requires immediate coverage with broad-spectrum antibiotics to avoid chances of heart valves involvement threating for myositis or endocarditis development.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
