Is there a link between hives and invasive streptococcal?

There is no direct link between hives and invasive streptococcus. An infection with streptococcus does not typically cause hives, as hives are usually a result of an exaggerated immune system response rather than an infectious nature. You may experience scarlet fever from strep throat, but hives are not a common symptom of streptococcal infections.
