N2 - A 33-year-old woman suffering from anal erosions developed severe illness with fever, diarrhea, ischalgia, hypotension, acute abdominal pain, dyspnea, renal and hepatic impairment, myalgia, desquamation of the skin, leukocytosis, anemia, hypocalcemia, decreased serum albumin, and cholesterol levels. Exploratory laparotomy did not reveal pathologic findings. Hemolytic group A streptococci were grown from peritoneal swabs and pleural exudate in bacteriologic cultures. The patient slowly recovered after intense penicillin and tobramycin therapy.
