Abstract

We report 2 cases of primary group A streptococcal peritonitis in which emergency abdominal CT scan ruled out a hollow viscus perforation, or necrosis, avoiding unnecessary laparotomy. These cases highlight the usefulness of abdominal CT scan and suggest that blind surgical exploration has no advantages.
