Thoracic empyema with scarlatiniform rash and acral desquamation: a case report.

John Scott Baird1, Ivona Sediva.   

Abstract

A 5 year old girl with thoracic empyema developed a scarlatiniform rash and acral desquamation. Cultures from blood, throat, and pleural fluid all grew Streptococcus pyogenes, a common etiologic agent of pediatric thoracic empyema. The presence of a scarlatiniform rash and acral desquamation in children with a thoracic empyema may help identify the causative organism.
