Toxic shock syndrome due to

streptococcus pyogenes

in an 80-year old post-knee arthroplasty patient:

rosthetic joint infection (PJI) is one of the leading causes of arthroplasty failure. A high incidence of PJI follows

Staphylococcus aureus

and coagulase-negative staphylococci. On the other hand,

Streptococcus pyogenes

PJI is extremely

rare with only a very few case reports in the literature. Toxic shock syndrome resulting from

Streptococcus pyogenes

infection,

however, has a reported mortality rate as high as 30-70%, hence early recognition of this potentially fatal infection is crucial

to the successful management of patients. In this article, we report a case of an 80 year old male who developed streptococcal

toxic shock syndrome in association with a severe group-A streptococcal infection of the knee after a total knee arthroplasty

done two years prior.
