Abstract

Streptococcus pyogenes (SP) is a common bacterial pathogen. For the past two decades, several studies have reported an increase in the severity and the incidence of SP infections. Case: a 60-year-old female admitted to the hospital with tonsillitis acuta verified by strep-A test was initially treated with V-penicillin, but developed septic shock and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), and treatment was changed to cefuroxime and clindamycin. She recovered fully. This case combined with other studies illustrates that SP infections have become more severe. Clindamycin should be added to penicillin for the treatment of invasive SP infections.
