Group C Beta Haemolytic Streptococcus Causing Necrotising Pneumonia Complicated With a Pyopneumothorax
Invasive infection with GCBHS is associated with higher mortality and prolonged hospital admission and may be zoonotic. Of the four reported cases of GCBHS necrotising pneumonia, all were young men with minimal or no past medical history. Half had documented exposure to unwell animals, and half required thoracoscopic intervention.
