Group A Streptococcal Bacteremia following Streptococcal Pharyngitis in an Older Patient with Diabetes: A Case Report .
Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine 2017 June
Group A streptococcus (GAS) is responsible for a wide range of both invasive and noninvasive infections. Severe invasive group A streptococcal infection is associated with morbidity and mortality and has been linked to chronic medical conditions with skin and soft tissues involvement, and intravenous drug use (IVDU). Invasive diseases are, however, rare and have been recognized to affect the extremes of age (younger than 10 years of age and older than 74). We report a case of Group A streptococcus bacteremia following pharyngitis in a 76-year-old diabetic male with no history of IVDU. This report's main goal is to illustrate that chronic illnesses such as diabetes and congestive heart failure might predispose elderly patients to invasive diseases such as Group A streptococcus bacteremia.
