ABSTRACT
Infections with invasive Group A streptococcus can have a wide range of presentations and be life threatening if not diagnosed and managed rapidly. Limb presentations in children can be especially challenging and we present our experience to help manage such cases. There can be multiple foci of infection with seeding to avascular structures. Therefore, we advocate maintaining a high degree of clinical suspicion when assessing this group of patients, who are often critically unwell, and have varying presentation. Early and aggressive surgical intervention may be key for disease control.
