The patient suffered a closed fracture of the upper segment of the left femur after a traffic accident and had acute pharyngitis 10 days ago. On the second day after admission, a fever of 38.5–38.8 °C appeared, on the third day, rapid swelling, severe pain, fever of 40.1 °C, tachypnea, tachycardia, rash, hypotension, oliguria, and a rise in creatinine. Urgent fasciotomy revealed dark red and non-viable thigh muscle, followed by debridement of necrotic tissue. Multi-organ dysfunction developed with high inflammatory markers, so thigh amputation was performed. Wound, blood cultures and NGS sequencing confirmed Streptococcus pyogenes infection. The patient underwent repeated debridements, sensitive antibiotic therapy, fluid resuscitation, and organ support with improvement. The case shows the rarity of invasive S. pyogenes infection in closed fractures and the need for early surgical intervention with multidisciplinary care.
