    Author: Kelly SB, Dick L.
    Journal: J Okla State Med Assoc; 2000 Jan; 93(1):25-8. PubMed ID: 10680323.
    Abstract:
    Group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus (GABHS) has long been recognized as a deadly pathogen with manifestations ranging from impetigo to necrotizing fasciitis. Bacteremia from streptococcal pharyngitis is a rare complication. We report a patient presenting with septic shock and diabetic ketoacidosis from streptococcal pharyngitis. The pathophysiology, classification, and treatment of invasive group A streptococcal infection is discussed.
