Streptococcal toxic shock syndrome is a severe, invasive and life-threatening infection associated with a high risk of rapid multiorgan failure. It is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Streptococcal toxic shock syndrome is very commonly caused by group A-, ß-haemolytic streptococcus, a typical human-specific gram-positive bacterial pathogen. We present here the case report of a 54-year-old man with a rapidly progressive streptococcal toxic shock syndrome due to necrotising fasciitis of the left lower limb and describe the successful treatment through close interdisciplinary care.
