Abstract

In this case, a streptococcal infection caused by Streptococcus pyogenes in a serviceman became generalized and led to the development of sepsis complicated by septic shock with community-acquired pneumonia, meningitis, disseminated intravascular coagulation syndrome and multiple organ failure, which ended in death. Early diagnosis of group A streptococcal infections complicated by streptococcal toxic shock syndrome together with conservative treatment according to current protocols and careful monitoring of both civilian and military patients is extremely important, can improve treatment efficacy and increase survival rates in this category of patients.
