ABSTRACT

Invasive infections for Streptococcus pyogenes are generally severe, and have a high mortality. Primary peritonitis due to S. pyogenes is described as a fulminant process that can progress to shock and multi-organ dysfunction. We report the case of a 14-year-old girl who was admitted for peritonitis with rapid progression to shock, in which S. pyogenes was isolated from the peritoneal fluid. The gynecological origin of the process is suspected. S. pyogenes as a cause of primary peritonitis, is mainly described in young women without previous conditions. Hematogenous dissemination, intestinal bacterial translocation and infection of the female genitourinary tract are proposed as the origin of the process.
