There seems to be an increase in septicemia and the development of shock after infection by streptococci. Early diagnosis of serious streptococceal infection and intensive care of this group patients might prevent the onset of septic shock with its high morbidity and mortality. We illustrate the pathogenesis of serious streptococceal infection by three case reports, and discuss the pathophysiology and treatment of this serious infection.
