Abstract

Necrotizing soft tissue infections are aggressive manifestations of Streptococcus pyogenes, often described after minor skin trauma. However, a subset of infections may present without cutaneous findings. We report a case of toxic shock syndrome and recalcitrant streptococcal infection of the forearm in a healthy teenager following blunt trauma.
