Özet:

 

Streptoccoccus pyogenes is gram + aerob coccus and it is described  as group A Streptococcus  (GAS) according to the Lancefield  classification. GAS may cause pneumonia and pleural effusion  rarely.Herein we reported  a  43 years old previously healthy  woman presented to the Emergency Department (ED)  with the complaint of chest-back pain and shortness of breath. During her follow up  she developed septic shock due to the empyema. 13rd  hour of her admission,  cardiopulmonary arrest developed and  she died  in spite of the  appropriate and immediate treatment. 2 days later after her admission, streptoccoccus pyogenes was detected in her pleural effusion and blood culture. In conclusion clinicians should be aware of this potential  fatal condition  also in healthy patients and start the treatment immediately.
