Toxic shock syndrome and streptococcal myositis: three case reports.

Abstract:

UNLABELLED:Group A streptococcal (GAS) infection is the most common cause of bacterial pharyngitis and has an important role in the pathogenesis of post-infective phenomena including rheumatic fever and glomerulonephritis. Mortality from GAS is uncommon, particularly in the paediatric population. Toxic shock syndrome reflects the most severe form of GAS-related disease and is often associated with fasciitis or myositis. CONCLUSION:We present three cases of toxic shock syndrome secondary to (GAS) myositis demonstrating the importance of early recognition and provision of intensive care management.
