Spontaneous streptococcal gangrenous myositis: survival with early debridement.

B N Doebbeling1, R P Wenzel.   

Abstract

Spontaneous gangrenous myositis caused by Streptococcus pyogenes is usually fatal, but no longer uniformly so. There appears to be a spectrum of disease due to beta-hemolytic streptococci, from necrotizing fasciitis to pyomyositis to spontaneous gangrenous myositis. Survival is possible with early surgical debridement, reexploration at 24 to 36 hours, and intensive supportive care.
