摘要: Since the mid-1980s, an increase in incidence of invasive disease caused by group A streptococci has been noted among adults and children. The characteristic clinical laboratory features streptococcal toxic shock syndrome include deep-seated infection associated with shock, skin manifestation, multiorgan failure. However, bullous impetigo is invariably considered to be a staphylococcal disease. Staphylococcus aureus produces epidermolytic toxin, assumed cause formation skin. Here, we present case infant syndrome. This rare presentation streptococcus.
