Streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS) is a serious and uncommon disease in Pediatrics. However, in the last decades the incidence of invasive infections by Streptococcus pyogenes of group A streptococcus has increased. It appears more frequently in preschool children since the diagnosis of streptococcal disease is more complicated at this age. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential due to its potential severity, sometimes requiring intensive life support measures and prevention of multiorgan failure.

Palabras clave : Streptococcus pyogenes; Streptococcal toxic shock.
