摘要
We herein report the case of a 66-year-old woman presenting with symptoms of gastroenteritis. Computed tomography showed small-bowel dilation without ischemic signs. After admission, she went into shock and was treated for sepsis of unknown origin. She was later diagnosed with group A streptococcal peritonitis due to an ascending vaginal infection. This case highlights the importance of considering Group A Streptococcus (GAS) infection as a cause of peritonitis in postmenopausal women.
