A 5 year old girl with thoracic empyema developed a scarlatiniform rash and acral desquamation. Cultures from blood, throat, and pleural fluid all grew Streptococcus pyogenes, a common etiologic agent of pediatric thoracic empyema. The presence of a scarlatiniform rash and acral desquamation in children with a thoracic empyema may help identify the causative organism.
一名患有胸腔积脓的5岁女孩出现了猩红热样皮疹和肢端脱皮。血液、咽喉和胸腔积液培养均生长出化脓性链球菌,这是小儿胸腔积脓的常见病原体。胸腔积脓患儿出现猩红热样皮疹和肢端脱皮可能有助于确定病原体。
