Necrotizing Fasciitis in a Pediatric Patient Caused by Lancefield Group G Streptococcus : Case Report and Brief Review of the Literature

الملخص EN

We report a case of necrotizing fasciitis with an accompanying toxic shock syndrome caused by Group G Streptococcus in a pediatric patient with a lymphatic malformation.

Pediatricians need to be aware of the possibility of such infections, especially in those with vascular/lymphatic malformations, as early treatment is critical for survival.
