Infectious panniculitis caused by group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus is rare, especially in immunocompetent patients. Its clinical presentation is usually nonspecific, but skin biopsy may provide information on the source. We describe the case of a previously healthy 2-year-old girl who presented with fever, tachycardia, and diffuse erythematous skin nodule; biopsy revealed a deep lobular neutrophilic panniculitis with gram-positive bacteria.
A组β溶血性链球菌引起的感染性脂膜炎罕见，尤其在免疫功能正常的患者中。其临床表现通常无特异性，但皮肤活检可能提供有关病因的信息。我们描述了一名既往健康的2岁女童的病例，她出现发热、心动过速和弥漫性皮肤红斑结节；活检显示为深部小叶性嗜中性脂膜炎伴革兰氏阳性菌。
