Abstract
We report the case of a 7-year-old girl with septic shock and coagulopathy associated with purpura fulminans (PF) and diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) due to group A Streptococcus (GAS) infection identified with 16S ribosomal RNA analysis performed on the skin biopsy. GAS infection with PF associated with DAH is rare in healthy young children but pediatricians should be aware of this condition because of the poor prognosis. The initial treatment for circulatory failure and severe disseminated intravascular coagulation as well as the prompt initiation of antibiotic treatment may be crucial for the outcomes of S. pyogenes PF.
