ABSTRACT
Streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS) is an acute, progressive illness that manifests with fever, hypotension, and accelerated multi-organ failure. It is usually caused by Group A Streptococcus (Streptococcus pyogenes). STSS due to non-group A streptococci is rare, but its incidence has recently increased. We report here on two cases of STSS caused by Group B Streptococcus (Streptococcus agalactiae) and Group G Streptococcus (Streptococcus dysagalactiae).
