Abstract

We describe a case report of a sixteen year old patient who was admitted with severe group A streptococcal (GAS) pleuro-pneumonia, underwent pleurocentesis and recovered after two weeks of hospitalization, although complete recovery lasted for another three weeks. The present publication aims to highlight the severe, prolonged and complicated course of GAS pneumonia in children which has not yet been reported in Israel. Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate therapy, which is a prolonged i.v. course of penicillin.
