ABSTRACT
We describe a 53-year-old man presenting at the emergency department with sepsis and a swollen right hand. Over the course of a day a large haemorrhagic bulla developed on the back of the hand. The blood cultures were positive for Streptococcus pyogenes. Our diagnosis was bullous cellulitis leading to S. pyogenes sepsis.
