Streptococcal Toxic Shock Syndrome Caused by Group G Streptococcus, United Kingdom.

ABSTRACT: We describe successful management of 3 patients with streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS) attributable to group G Streptococcus infection. This small series supports recognition of group G Streptococcus in the etiology of STSS. We propose intravenous immunoglobulin be used in treatment as it is for STSS caused by group A Streptococcus.
