Soft tissue infections due to the group A Streptococcus are difficult to diagnose and rapidly fatal. They may present to the forensic pathologist as an "obscure autopsy". Death may occur within or outside the hospital and with or without a history of fulminant infection or predisposing factors. It is important for the pathologist to exclude this condition through awareness of its existence and by appropriate dissection with retention of materials for microbiological and histological examination.
由A组链球菌引起的软组织感染难以诊断且可迅速致命。它们可能作为“不明死因尸检”出现在法医病理学家面前。死亡可能发生在医院内或医院外，有无暴发性感染病史或易感因素均可。病理学家通过了解其存在并进行适当解剖，保留材料用于微生物学和组织学检查，以排除这种情况很重要。
