Group A Streptococcus is well established as the most common pathogen causing necrotizing fasciitis. In contrast, Group B Streptococcus (GBS, or ) is a rare cause of necrotizing fasciitis, particularly in adults. We present the case of a patient who developed a fulminant case of GBS necrotizing fasciitis on a backdrop of a previously undiagnosed malignancy, and review the relevant literature.
A组链球菌是导致坏死性筋膜炎最常见的病原体,这一点已得到充分证实。相比之下,B组链球菌(GBS)是坏死性筋膜炎的罕见病因,尤其是在成年人中。我们报告了一例在先前未诊断出恶性肿瘤的背景下发生暴发性GBS坏死性筋膜炎的患者病例,并对相关文献进行了综述。
