A 59-year-old previously healthy female developed purulent pharyngitis leading rapidly to neck cellulitis, septicaemic shock and fatal cardiac arrest despite appropriate antibiotic therapy. Streptococcus milleri was isolated from a submandibular abscess, cellulitic neck tissue and blood cultures. Fulminant septicaemia due to this group of organisms is relatively uncommon and usually occurs in the immunocompromised or otherwise chronically unwell.
一名59岁既往健康的女性患上了化脓性咽炎，尽管接受了适当的抗生素治疗，但仍迅速发展为颈部蜂窝织炎、败血症性休克并最终心脏骤停死亡。从颌下脓肿、颈部蜂窝织炎组织及血培养中分离出米勒链球菌。由这组微生物引起的暴发性败血症相对少见，通常发生在免疫功能低下或其他长期身体不适的患者中。
