TY - JOUR T1 - Necrotizing Pneumonia Caused by Group C Streptococci in a Young Adult JF - Respiratory Care SP - 454 LP - 456 DO - 10.4187/respcare.00997 VL - 57 IS - 3 AU - Vikas Pathak AU - Iliana Samara Hurtado Rendon AU - Mihai Smina Y1 - 2012/03/01 UR - http://rc.rcjournal.com/content/57/3/454.abstract N2 - While group C beta hemolytic streptococcal infections are uncommon in humans, group C beta hemolytic streptococcal pneumonia is exceedingly rare. To the best of our knowledge, only 2 cases of necrotizing pneumonia caused by group C beta hemolytic streptococcus have been reported in the past. Thus, we are reporting a rare case of necrotizing group C beta hemolytic streptococcal pneumonia in a young healthy adult with no risk factors. ER -
