  • Title: Fatal group A streptococcal myopericarditis during influenza A infection.
    Author: Harre B, Nashelsky M, Douvoyiannis M, Shulman ST.
    Journal: Pediatr Infect Dis J; 2006 Jul; 25(7):660-1. PubMed ID: 16804446.
    Abstract:
    Influenza A infection can be a serious and life-threatening disease in young children. Even in those who die, however, the cause of death may not be obvious. In this illustrative report, a 7-year-old child with acute influenza A infection developed an unsuspected fatal secondary infection caused by group A streptococcus. The diagnosis of bacterial myopericarditis was made at autopsy.
