Abstract

We present a case of fatal ‘malignant’ necrotising streptococcal myositis in a previously healthy 39-year-old man. The infection was caused by Lancefield group-A haemolytic streptococcus (Streptococcus pyogenes). This case highlights the clinical features and the necessity of prompt aggressive treatment.
