新生儿急性肢体缺血表现为A组链球菌菌血症:病例报告

Abstract

The reported incidence of Group A Streptococcus (GAS) bacteraemia is generally low, though it remains a significant concern. We report the case of a three-week-old neonate who presented with blackish discolouration of her toes and a rash, later diagnosed with invasive GAS septicaemia and septic emboli. She received antibiotics and anticoagulation, showing significant improvement, with mild residual hyperpigmentation and minor tissue loss at the two-month follow-up. Our case report highlights that early recognition and treatment of neonatal sepsis, including rare presentations such as septic emboli from pathogens like GAS, are critical for preventing severe complications and ensuring favourable long-term outcomes.
