    Author: Antunes R, Diogo M, Carvalho A, Pimentel T, Oliveira J.
    Journal: Acta Med Port; 2011 Dec; 24 Suppl 3():617-20. PubMed ID: 22856398.
    Abstract:
    Recently there has been an exponential increase in invasive infections caused by Streptococcus ß hemolyticus group A. In about one third of cases they are complicated by toxic shock syndrome, characterized by septic shock and multiorgan failure. The authors, by their rarity, report a case of bacteraemia caused by Streptococcus pyogenes complicated by toxic shock syndrome.
