Presentation
The microorganism is a very rare cause of endocarditis and its presentation with multiple liver abscesses is highly unusual. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

CASE PRESENTATION: A 74-year-old woman, who had a past history of infection with leprosy, presented with conjunctival hyperaemia, pain, and corneal opacity in her right eye. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
No other focus of infection was identified on imaging workup suggesting primary infection of the pericardium. His clinical course was complicated by development of constrictive pericarditis for which he underwent surgical pericardiectomy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
positive identification of the infecting bacteria is necessary to separate out other bacteria that may cause some similar symptoms but may require a different workup, different treatment, and produce different complications. [medicinenet.com]
Treatment
The most frequently antimicrobials used for treatment were ceftriaxone levofloxacin. Ten patients cured with a combination of medical and surgical treatment and 2 patients died as a consequence of infection. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
In this aging society, invasive infections with SDSE should be much more recognized among medical practitioners in order to improve patient prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
What is the prognosis for group A streptococcal infections? The prognosis for mild GAS infections is usually good to excellent. [medicinenet.com]
Etiology
This small series supports recognition of group G Streptococcus in the etiology of STSS. We propose intravenous immunoglobulin be used in treatment as it is for STSS caused by group A Streptococcus. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pathophysiology
The group a streptococcus are beta haemolytic cocci able to produce some exotoxins and also contain many surface antigens that play a vital role in its pathophysiology such as m proteins. [youtube.com]

Pathophysiology and predisposing factors The pathophysiology of STSS is based on bacterial toxins. [annalsofintensivecare.springeropen.com]
Recent interest in the pathophysiology of this disorder has focused on the role of streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxins (SPEs), extracellular products of group A streptococci that mediate not only scarlatiniform-like rashes but also multi-organ damage and [antimicrobe.org]
Prevention
Strategies for prevention of invasive GAS disease, although limited, include infection-control measures and prevention of secondary cases among postpartum and postsurgical patients [ 11 ]. [doi.org]
Streptococcal Species is increasingly recognized as a potentially preventable emerging infection in human's brain with high prevalence around the world. Streptococcus constellatus is one of the most common pathogens. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
