Group A streptococcal appendicitis in a patient with AIDS.

J M Tufariello1, R N Kaleya, R S Klein.   

Abstract

A man with AIDS developed appendicitis and bacteremia caused by Group A streptococcus, neither of which is considered an opportunistic infection. Group A streptococcus is rarely implicated in appendicitis in children and has not previously been reported in an adult. Immunodeficiency might have predisposed the patient to this unusual infection.
