Resumen
SIBON OLANO, A. et al. Septic shock by Streptococcus pyogenes in a child. Is diagnosis possible in forensic pathology?. Cuad. med. forense [online]. 2017, vol.23, n.1-2, pp.35-40. ISSN 1988-611X.
Septic shock is the final common route of numerous life-threatening infectious processes, which are classified as sudden deaths of major legal repercussion in children and young adults and are the subject of forensic autopsies. They are usually the result of pathogens that usually have mild and banal diseases, but in certain circumstances can evolve into severe conditions that end in death and can pose medical problems, especially in detection and diagnosis. We present the case of a 20-month-old male who, after a common foot injury, evolved to septic shock and death as a consequence of streptococcus pyogenes sepsis, as evidenced in special postmortem studies with which the forensic pathologist is unfamiliar.
