Nonperipartum group B streptococcus infection usually occurs in elderly persons and in patients with underlying systemic diseases (e.g., diabetes, malignancy, or alcoholism). Group B streptococcal infections in adults are often life threatening, and have been associated with a toxic shock-like syndrome. We present a case of fulminant group B streptococcal cellulitis in a patient with sarcoidosis who was receiving corticosteroid therapy and who became hypotensive as her cellulitis rapidly progressed to involve her entire right thigh.
非围产期B族链球菌感染通常发生在老年人和患有潜在全身性疾病（如糖尿病、恶性肿瘤或酒精中毒）的患者中。成人B族链球菌感染往往危及生命，并与中毒性休克样综合征有关。我们报告一例结节病患者发生暴发性B族链球菌蜂窝织炎的病例，该患者正在接受皮质类固醇治疗，随着蜂窝织炎迅速蔓延至整个右大腿，患者出现了低血压。
