چکیده
A patient with rapidly fatal septic shock caused by group G beta-haemolytic streptococci as presenting symptom of acute myeloid leukaemia is presented. Although the association of septic shock due to Group G beta-haemolytic streptococci and different kinds of malignancy is known, presentation of acute myeloid leukaemia in this form is rare.

Epidemiology of beta-haemolytic group G streptococcal bacteraemia in Singapore (1996 to 1998).
INTRODUCTION Group G streptococcus (GGS) accounted for 8% to 44% of all bacteraemias due to beta-haemolytic streptococci according to various reports. The aims of this study were 1) to describe the epidemiology of GGS bacteraemia in Singapore for which local data are lacking and 2) to compare its frequency of isolation to the other Lancefield groups. PATIENTS AND METHODS The study period was ...

In this population-based study, all 314 episodes of b-haemolytic streptococcal bacteraemia in adult patients in the Pirkanmaa area, Finland, during the 10-year period 1995–2004 were retrospectively reviewed. Altogether, 92 cases of bacteraemia caused by Lancefield group A b-haemolytic streptococci (GAS), 76 caused by group B b-haemolytic streptococci (GBS), 18 caused by group C b-haemolytic str...
متن کاملBeta-haemolytic streptococci isolated from acute sore-throat patients: cause or coincidence? A case-control study in general practice.
As beta-haemolytic streptococci can be cultured in people with and in those without a sore throat, a case-control study was set up in 43 family practices in The Netherlands. The association was tested between the number of colony counts, specific T/M types and exotoxin genes and an acute sore throat. Duplicate throat swabs were taken from 663 sore-throat patients, selected by clinical criteria,...
متن کاملRapid discrimination between strains of beta haemolytic streptococci by intact cell mass spectrometry.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Beta haemolytic streptococci belonging to Lancefield group A, B, C and G cause a wide spectrum of clinical diseases. Hence there is a need for rapid and accurate typing of these strains. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the use of intact cell matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) for rapid discrimination b...

Background Classification of cancer subtypes by means of microarray signatures is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore as a potential to transform pathological diagnosis nonetheless, measurement of Indicator genes in routine practice appears to be arduous. In a preceding published study, we utilized real-time PCR measurement of Indicator genes in acute lymphoid leukaemia (ALL) and acute m...
