Summary: Streptococcus pyogenes causes a wide spectrum of diseases in children. However, meningitis due to this pathogen is highly uncommon. Although rare, it is associated with a high case fatality rate and can result in severe neurological sequelae. We report a case of Streptococcus pyogenes meningitis in a previously healthy 3-year-old boy. The purpose of this case report is to emphasize that this agent should be considered a cause of meningitis in previously healthy infants because of its frequent association with complications, sequelae, and high mortality rates.

No entanto, a meningite por esse agente é altamente incomum. Embora rara, está associada a uma elevada taxa de mortalidade e pode resultar em sequelas neurológicas graves. Relatamos um caso de meningite por Streptococcus pyogenes numa criança de três anos, previamente saudável. O objetivo deste caso é enfatizar que este agente deve ser considerado como causa de meningite em crianças previamente saudáveis, dado estar frequentemente associado a complicações graves, sequelas e elevadas taxas de mortalidade.Ordem dos Médicos2023-07-05info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/19941Acta Médica Portuguesa; Vol. 37 No. 2 (2024): February; 142-144Acta Médica Portuguesa; Vol. 37 N.º 2 (2024): Fevereiro; 142-1441646-07580870-399Xreponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAPenghttps://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/19941https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/19941/15323Direitos de Autor (c) 2023 Acta Médica Portuguesainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTorres, LaraM.
