Abstract

An increase has been recently noted in the incidence of life-threatening group A β-hemolytic streptococcal (GABHS) infections in children recovering from varicella. We report our experience with a patient who required pediatric intensive care unit admission because of a serious GABHS infection 1 week after the onset of varicella. Emergency physicians must look for this complication in patients with varicella remaining abnormally febrile and presenting unusual manifestations. (J Am Acad Dermatol 2001;45:770-2.)
