'Toxic strep syndrome'. A manifestation of group A streptococcal infection

T Bartter et al. Arch Intern Med. 1988 Jun.

Abstract

Three patients presented with multisystem disease that shared many of the features of toxic shock syndrome. Bacteriologic and serologic evidence strongly suggested that group A beta-hemolytic Streptococcus had caused the illnesses. Group A streptococcal infection may be an underdiagnosed cause of a toxic streptococcal syndrome, a syndrome of multisystem disease apparently mediated by toxins.
