Streptococci group G is an important opportunistic pathogen and causes a wide variety of infections, including pharyngitis, skin and soft tissue infections, bacteremia, endocarditis, septic arthritis, intra-abdominal infections, meningitis, and streptococcal toxic shock-like syndrome. As a result, we discuss an interesting case of recurrent group G streptococcal bacteremia in a 68-year-old man presenting with altered mental status. We also discuss the risk factors, etiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of group G streptococcal bacteremia.
G 组链球菌是一种重要的机会致病菌，可引起多种感染，包括咽炎、皮肤和软组织感染、菌血症、心内膜炎、化脓性关节炎、腹腔内感染、脑膜炎以及链球菌中毒性休克样综合征。因此，我们讨论一例 68 岁男性因精神状态改变而出现复发性 G 组链球菌菌血症的有趣病例。我们还将讨论 G 组链球菌菌血症的危险因素、病因、病理生理学、诊断和治疗。
